What is the volume of a "smartie" disk - in consistent unit.

What are your thoughts?

To add to the other questions; is this a question of volume or of packing? That is, although in terms of volume there may be room for a number of items, you might not actually be able to fit that many items because of the shape of the items. Think about a number of marbles (spheres) in a flat (rectangular) box. There may be enough empty space for the volume of a marble but there will not be space because of the non-deformable shape of the marble.

You've posted this to "Advanced Math", so you're in graduate school or doing research. What methods, algorithms, proofs, etc, do you believe you need to apply to this? Are you studying "packing"? What have you tried so far?

Please be complete, including a listing of theorems and research papers upon which you're relying. Thank you!
