Just practicing with cheese slopes... This shape is interesting to me because it is ostensibly made up of 6 equilateral triangles, which are put together to supposedly make 3 diamonds, which should fit together to make a perfect hexagon. But it is very clear that the cheese slopes are not perfectly triangular, so you get strange things like this. It seems to me that the orange and red parallelograms are each larger than the blue polygon (is it a rhombus? or an irregular hexagon??), but they're all the same size, made up of the same number of slopes.
