    Are you sure the story is real? I can find anything that points to it, so a link would help a lot

      That candy crush story is, as the commenter said, a lie. I don’t know why they would suggest that adding on a lie is in any way good, since we know that this packing was discovered in the late 1990s. It’s on the wikipedia article for square packing (with sources) but I don’t feel like looking it up again.

        I didn’t even understand the point that it was a lie, and not the original comment had a lie, reading skill issue
