Improving statement obtained by Pigeonhole principle

80 Views Asked by At

In this MSE question, this statement is proven:

Room is cube-shaped, with side 3m. 136 flies fly in it. Prove that at any moment one can encompass 6 flies with a sphere of radius 90cm.

Can the statement be strengthened in the sense that 6 is replaced with a larger number?


My intuition says that this is really possible.
