Done

Well, i got the daily food boxes packed. There are actually 13 items to go in each box. I pack the soup and coffee separately, to make 15. The challenge is to pack them so that to tops do not bulge, not an easy chore. If there are 13 items, that means that there are 13 places each can go. So, when i load one item into one of those 13 places, that means that there are 12 places the next one i choose can go, and so on. If i recall my math classes, that's 13 factorial, or 6,227, 020,800 combinations i would have to try to get the perfect fit . Since i do not have time to run through all those, i rely on trial and error. Well, it worked in two of the 10 boxes i packed. I will just have to hope that they all fit into my container with the bulging contents of the 10 deviants .
