@fredley I don't know what I'm doing.

fredley

@kalina Nope

@RonanForman Trying to complete the puzzles in the bottom left

I.e., draw a triangle

I can't do the circle packing ones

At all

StrixVaria

I can't figure out how to get something around the dot when every interaction available requires the dot to be involved.

I made a triangle, though.

I think I win.

kalina

finished the first one

bored now

Ronan Forman

11:36

Odd, it's not registering triangle in 8 moves.

StrixVaria

I have an equilateral triangle in a circle around a point, and it didn't give it to me. Granted, I have about 100 extra lines.

It's still stupid.

I got the triangle in the original circle in 7 moves

How is that not a hexagon dammit

Arperum

@user56 hexagon in 11 moves. got the triangle down to 6 too.

Triangle in 5 is easy

Can't figure out hexagon at all

Arperum

hexagon in 10 :D

ow, the "in x moves" don't require "in the original circle", that fixes triangle in 5 too.

badp

@fredley you just need to grab your design book from high school

Arperum

That thing is way to time consuming must close tab

badp

ALL the circles

StrixVaria

@badp You have a hexagon there too.

badp

@StrixVaria and a circle pack 2, and a triangle

StrixVaria

Impressive.

badp

uh, I just built the triangle and then the exagon and then the circle and then the square

without resetting between drawings

StrixVaria

Pssh.

I still don't see a triangle.

Oh, there it is. It's tiny.

National Ice Cream Month

National Ice Cream Month is held in each year in July in the United States. Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984. He also named the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. Reagan recognized the popularity of ice cream in the United States (90% of the nation's population consumes ice cream) and stated that these two events should be observed with "appropriate ceremonies and activities."
