Using only a compass and straight edge, can you inscribe 3 equal circles inside a Reuleaux (rounded) triangle like the picture? You can construct the arcs and an equilateral triangle using a compass. So you have a given center point, circumscribing circle, and midline.
There has to be a way to get an exact construction, not just “adjust it until it fits”.
I (30m) have zero skills, but want to play. I lived in Europe for two years and there were always people organizing weekly pickup games. I have no idea how to find other casual players here in the states without signing up for some kind of group.
I made this heat map based mostly on my 23andMe result percentages, but also included some regions that I have well-documented ancestry from. What’s crazy about this to me, is how overwhelmingly British my ancestry is. Roughly 50% of my family tree was in America before 1600 1700. The other half emigrated from Europe early to mid 1800’s.
Just joined and wanted to introduce myself.
I have been in residential construction for 8 or 9 years now. We were framing for a contractor whose plans were illegible. So I taught myself Sketchup and started re-drawing all his plans for him to make them neater for us to work from. From there, I got a general contractors license and started doing all the plans for our projects. Legally, I can draw residential plans but not commercial plans without an architecture license.
This year, at 30 years old, I decided to go back to school for a degree, and originally started the semester as a biology major, hoping for a change of scenery from construction, but took one architecture class. I quickly realized that I would be good at architecture and already had a wealth of applicable skills and knowledge.
I’m not sure exactly how my path will pan out, but I’m excited to be able to be involved in commercial and institutional projects too. I have noticed that a lot of my fellow architecture students and even the professors treat it more like an art, and many of them come from an artist background rather than construction. I am a decent artist, but I’m really more involved in codes, details, construction methods… I guess I just come at it from a builder/construction management perspective.
