Reconstruction of the 2001 Berranburgh Field formation |
|||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct a regular 12-sided polygon (a dodecagon), inscribed in this circle, with angular points at the ends of the centerlines. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the diagonals between angular points five apart, resulting in a twelve-pointed star. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric with the larger one, with a radius up to the intersection of two neighbouring diagonals, as shown. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle with its center at an angular point of the twelve-pointed star, tangent to two adjacent diagonals (intersecting each other perpendicularly), as shown. | |||
6. | ![]() | Repeat this another five times, up to a total of six circles, evenly distributed over the points of the twelve-pointed star. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw a circle concentric with one of the circles 6, and passing through two points of the twelve-pointed star, that are four apart from the one in the center, see figure. | |||
8. | ![]() | Repeat this for the other two points just passed. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct an equilateral triangle from the three points of the twelve-pointed star half way in between the previous points, as shown. Now, all ingredients are there. | |||
10. | ![]() | Removing all superfluous parts results in the reconstruction of the 2001 Berranburgh Field formation. (Black denotes standing crop). | |||
