AI Thread Summary
In the discussion, the geometric properties of rhombus $DBEF$ formed within square $ABCD$ are analyzed. It is established that $CF$ is parallel to $BD$ and that $DF$ equals $DB$. The relationship between angles is highlighted, specifically that $\angle BDF$ is $n$ times $\angle F$, with $n$ being a natural number. The objective is to determine the value of $n$. The solution involves applying properties of angles in rhombuses and squares to derive the value of $n$.

$ABCD $ is a square,$CF//BD$, and $DF=DB$,point $E,$ is on $CF$
given :$DBEF$ is a rhombus
if $\angle BDF=n\angle F$(here :$n\in N)$
please find :$n=?$

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
