Hexagrams are natural

Circles of equal diameters, when pressed together form hexagrams.  See the proof when baking cookies or biscuits by placing the dough so that their edges barely touch.  After baking, the ones in the middle will have six straight sides.

Re: Hexagrams are natural

Are hexagrams different from hexagons?

Re: Hexagrams are natural

Doggonnit, I'm sorry, I should've said hexagon.  A hexagram contains the lines that connect the points of a hexagon through its center.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  I should follow what Davy Crocett said, "Make sure you 're right, then go ahead."

So, we can get "hexagon shaped" cookies and biscuits by the process I described above. (Of course, then you could cut them into pieces according to the lines of a hexagram).  Now I think I'm getting hungry.

And theists said that bees have hexagon hive holes due to God's interference...


Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
May his adventurous soul rest in peace at heaven.
