    Hi there,

    I made this website to showcase the Heilbronn problem, which is a classic problem in optimization. Lately there has been a wave of contributions of new records made by amateur mathematicians - you could be one of them!

      It seems like this post got put into some kind of "second chance" queue - thanks @dang! I'm around to answer questions if anyone has them.

      Github repo for the site: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tejstead&#x2F;heilbronn-site" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tejstead&#x2F;heilbronn-site

      Also, check out the entry for square n=16, I added a pretty cool animation there.
