Lab: No more chaos, time for change. We already changed. Stability, NHS, and border-cops and teachers.
Scots: We will put scotland first. Action on NHS, rejoin single market, get green growth and don't collude with tories like Labour.

This problem has been considered before only in the limit cases of circle packing inside a circle and on a sphere (Tammes problem), whereas all intermediate cases are unexplored. Finding the preferred packing configurations for a domain with both curvature and border could be useful in the description of physical and biological systems (for example, colloidal suspensions or th…
