ABSTRACT

When we shift our attention away from squares to other regular polygons, it may at first seem traumatic to find ways to deal with integer identities. But do not despair! There are treatments that have demonstrated their effectiveness and from which you will derive positive benefit. In fact, as you will see, they may even help preserve your sanity. Then, you will be able to repeat, just like Chief Inspector Dreyfuss, shortly before his relapse, “Every day, and in every way, I am getting better and better.” Yes, you will develop the mental toughness to handle triangular relationships. And you will have made such progress by the end of the chapter that you will not hesitate to confront a few latent hexagons.
