Thanks for posting this - first heard "Soul of a Man" on Bruce Cockburn's album *Nothing But A Burning Light* and have loved it since. Plant and his band's take is fantastic.

18 years old. My first video game was a text based game (like Zork) played on a Tandy 1000. Great times. But it was Warcraft 2 that really pulled me into gaming (and caused me to enter the world of unending computer upgrades with the subsequent bank account downgrades).

I am so impressed that you didn't blab about the news before now - if it was me I wouldn't have been able to keep it in! I am super excited by the news! And - thanks! - for recognizing that Rush was worth radio play all those years ago - cool that they end the tour in Cleveland!

Thanks for sharing. Those paths are really cool. Are you using GeoGebra or Desmos for those animations?

Cool indeed. Symmetry isn't something I spent much time on in my studies or career, but I've always been fascinated by the base concept of symmetry. Your regular polygon rotations yield fun, clean paths - just wondered what irregularity would do to that symmetry.

Have you ever tried irregular polygons (in either, or even both, positions)? I'm just a bit curious about the 'shape of syymmetry' there.

Infinitely many, unless you put constraints on the dimensions (such as "length can only be natural numbers"). I love questions like what you've shared, but often there isn't enough specificity.
