given an integer n and a binary sequence a:{1..n^3}-->{0,1} pack the sequence into {1..n}^3 p:{1..n^3}-->{1..n^3} bijective such that p(i) and p(i+1) have distance 1 and such that |{(i,j) , p(i) and p(j) have distance 1 and a(i)=1=a(j)}| is maximum for a version in 2dimensions see: http://www.mathworks.com/contest/protein.cgi/rules.html Fold a snake composed of black and white cubes into the smallest possible rectangular box.
