Re: ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

Whoa nice. So creating all of the hexagons separately and then assembling them. that would totally work, just it would be a pain and take forever to do like you said. Also, soccer balls have hexagons AND pentagons, and sizing them correctly and angling them would be quite a pain in the buttox. Nevertheless, i didnt think of it, so points.

in fact i think ill go do it right now since thats the best idea ive heard, even though i should be writing a thesis.....

So that solves the soccer ball problem, but what about the baseball, or even a golfball which have far more complicated patterns?
