AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around animations of a 4D die and sphere created by the original poster. The animations were made using Python and a basic graphics package capable of drawing straight lines and ellipses. Participants express interest in the videos, noting that the hyperdie appears more intuitive than the hypersphere. There is a nostalgic sentiment from one commenter, recalling similar creations from two decades ago. The conversation highlights the intersection of programming and visual representation of complex geometries.

What did you make these animations in?
 
Interesting videos, for me the hyperdie is more intuitive than the hypersphere ...

Python and some primitive graphics package that can draw only straight lines and ellipses.

It's strange, I feel like I did these 20 years ago.

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

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...
