So far the problem of densest packings of congruent circles in a circle has been solved up to 10 circles. The author extends this to 11 circles. He proves that the minimum distance between two of eleven points in a unit disc is \(d = 2 \sin (\pi/9)\) and presents the only two possible realisations.
