The wrapping process is to place the present on the centre of the wrapping paper on it’s largest face (of area ), optionally rotate the paper by some angle , then fold the paper up around the present onto the top face
The paper must cover all of the surface area of the present
The efficiency of the wrap is defined as the ratio of the surface area of the present to the area of the paper:
Our aim is to find a which covers the present with maximum efficiency.
See the post for the analytical results and the conclusions.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
