The problem of circle packing [0] [1] is an interesting one (spatially
speaking). It addresses the following question:

"What's the optimum distribution or n circles of radius r inside a
rectangle  boundary  that they don't overlap with each other?"


If someone wanted to use only grass to solve that problem, what steps
would he take?
