Inspired by the following xkcd:
xkcd comic: a room filled with playpen balls.

How many playpen balls would it take to fill your apartment?

This is just a plain ripoff of http://chiliahedron.com/ballroom/, but in metric units, instead of imperial ones. Seriously, there are three countries left which still use imperial units: Liberia, Burma and the United States of America. Please get a grip and try to cooperate with the rest of the world.

Added bonus: Validating, plain XHTML.

The theoretical best possible packing density is about 74%, and the theoretical worst (in a space whose dimensions are multiples of a ball's diameter) is about 60% before you stop actually filling the space or start ignoring gravity. Don't believe me? Figure it out yourself.

I recommend excluding bathrooms for sanitary reasons.

If you don't have screen windows, you probably want to stay under sill level … or get screen windows.

Packing efficiency: %
Floor area to cover:
Depth of balls:  m.
Radius of each ball:  cm.
Price of each ball:

It would take balls and cost in Your Favourite Currency to fill your apartment with playpen balls.
