The above animation shows the maximum packing of the ellipse bounded by two axes in the superellipse of the equation . If the maximum total area ratio of the inscribed ellipses to the superellipse for is , input as your answer.
For Fun. For , generalize the critical (maximum possible) eccentricity value of centrally-positioned ellipses, such that either their major axes or their minor axes each share one common point of tangency with the superellipse at or .
