Of course there is no analytical solution to the packing problem. Even the best computational methods just take the largest box they can pack into the available space, then the next largest, etc.

LOL @ RB5's answer! (sorry )
To put it into perspective, your answer (total of approximately 180,000 cubic metres) is roughly the same as the inflated volume of the German zeppelin "Hindenberg"!!!
I hope Scooby96 has a big van!
