  1. I would have guessed b) using your logic too, but I really wanted to figure out how to solve it properly... and failed.

  2. The hexagon is not regular by definition. A regular hexagon has all angles 120 deg

  3. It was obvious. I like the way she worked through it in detail. It was perfect. I took the same approach, but my algebra failed big time.

  4. You're joking, right? No one can solve it in a few seconds. I'm over an hour now and still nowhere near.

  5. Rubbish. This is nowhere near 7th grade. My son didn't get anything like this at high school until grade 11, and even then, it was not this difficult.

  6. There is no easy way. None of the problems on this channel are easy. I've tried a heap of them and I managed to solve one only. I spent 30 minutes trying a bunch of things for this one and failed. The solutions in the comments are no help either. A of assumptions mainly. I wanted to solve it myself before watching the video 😞 Why do people keep talking about "easy". Ridiculous!!!

  7. ​ @illwerral I took the algabraic route and just hit dead ends.

  8. ​@cdunne1620Why do you treat people so rudely? Just explain it instead of calling people ignorant. We're all here to learn, right?This puzzle is not easy.

  9. ​​ @robertmorrison1100 I tried something similar to that but hit a dead end.

  10. ​ @thomasstanton1111 No it doesn't. I've spent an hour on this by now. Still haven't watched the video solution yet, but I'm no closer even after skimming through this thread.

  11. Yeah, riiiiight.

  12. ​ @Chiswick-Edward Why not d? It's less than 1, isn't it?

  13. Big deal. I guess you enjoy boasting? Spare a thought for those of us who want to learn.

  14. No, it was perfect.

  15. It also needs all angles to be equal.
