What is overconstrained box?

> 2. How does padding:auto interact with margin:auto?

`margin:auto` centers box if its outer width (content width + padding + border) is less than content width of its parent. With `padding:auto`, outer width of the box is equal to 100% of content width of the parent, so `margin:auto` most likely should not have any effect if element has `padding:auto`.
