Billiard balls
A layer of ivory billiard balls radius of 6.35 cm is in the form of a square. The balls are arranged so that each ball is tangent to everyone adjacent to it. In the spaces between sets of 4 adjacent balls, other balls rest, equal in size to the original. These balls form, in turn, a second layer on top of the first. Successive layers of this sort form a pyramidal pile with a single ball resting on top. If the bottom layer contains 16 balls, what is the height of the pile?
