Now, please pack the boxes according to the following procedure in order to securely achieve a good solution. Deviations from single steps are allowed, if you think that you are able to accomplish a better result.
Do not rotate any box. Place the tallest item first, followed by the second tallest and so on (left to right).
Step 1: Search for the lowest possible position.
Step 2: Place the box leftmost in the lowest possible position, if it can either touch the left border of the container or a previously placed item which top edge is located higher than the top edge of the current item.
Step 3: If step 2 cannot be applied, place it rightmost in the lowest possible position, if it can analogously either touch the right border of the container or a previously placed item which top edge is located higher than the top edge of the current item.
Step 4: If neither step 2 or step 3 can be applied, place it either left- or rightmost such that it touches the higher edge of the neighboring items.
Instructions:
Please pack all colored boxes at the bottom of the page in the container using "drag and drop". Try to minimize the height used (indicated by the dotted red line). You can touch an item as often as you want. But be aware that once you click on the next item, you will no longer be able to change the position of all previously stored items. Once you have successfully placed every box, you will be able to finish the experiment.
