This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

As simple as that - we cut the big star into 21 pieces and make up two identical stars - one of the red and the second of the yellow and blue pieces.

Sympy! Cool!

Yeah, sympy is fun to play with, isn't it? I wish it were a little better at simplifying trig expressions, though. That one is frightening me. :)

Problem - find solution without Sympy. Only paper and pencil.

You should tweet this to Cshearer41 on Twitter with a caption of
