  Yeah, it happens when you pack the circles as densely as possible. If you place them in a grid, they will expand to a grid.

    I think that depends on the fiction between each item / cell, and the plane.

    I think soap bubbles for example will always form hexagons.

      Bubbles can move freely once created, so they have more freedom than cookies that are stick in place. Thus, bubbles will look for optimal volume to boundary ratio with less constraints
