Aren't Hexagons the bestagon for tiling a plane for most holding capacity while reducing the "walls" than any shape?

    The honeycomb theorem is actually better than that: there isn't any way to divide up the plane with equal-area shapes (even if it's not a tiling in the sense of having any pattern) it won't be better than hexagons.

    But that video can die in a fire!
