 :"S" (the size of the square, within which lie the N small squares) is less than the following number. i.e. that any S of that amount or greater is more than enough space to contain N unit squares. But it isn't fully established what the ''smallest'' value of S is, just that it will not be bigger than (or equal to) that provisional limit.
