Alice wins if the final path does not cross over the first super-diagonal of the grid (as pictured). Bob wins if it does.

I used a simple neural net to approximate optimal square packings. It still needs some tuning but the results aren't too bad.

The optimal solutions for these are ~2.707 and ~3.707. Pretty close! Curious if (with some refinement) I can get some new packings this way.

and now we wait.

Sometimes I think my research slides might be a little too unprofessional.
