Gnomon is the Greek name of the addition to a polygon in order to get the next polygon from the same type. A good example is the transition from square to square. From the square of one (which is 1) to the square of two (which is 4) we pass by adding 3, and from the square of 2 (which is 4) we move to the square of 3 (which is 9) by adding 5, And so on. And the ancient Greeks had also an even Gnomon, completing the rectangle to the rectangle above it. The name gnomon is borrowed from the part of a sun dial that casts shadow and which has, along with the shadow, a shape of an angle, like the letter L in Latin.
The gnomon of the odd shapes is always in the form of 2x+1, and the gnomon of the even shapes is always in the form of 2x. 2x+1 and 2x covers all the natural numbers.

The first lap of the first practice session Manx Grand prix 2015. Taken at Braddan Bridge in the Isle of Man. Lovely evening - there is a large oak tree on the left and its leaves cast a shadow from the sun low in the sky on the wall behind the rider.

My Question was “how is failure remembered and how does it affect people”. The day we were coming up with words we had just lost a soccer game 5-2 to Heritage, and the next morning I failed a test in AP Chemistry. Failure was on my mind and I decided to do a project based on the idea. This project shows my failures in soccer, with each red X marking where a goal was scored on us when we lost. I can recall just how each one happened and how, in a way each one was a result of me failing as a player. I also considered questions like “what does failure look like” and “how do people react to failing in simple tasks, but ultimately settled with my question because I could relate to it. I believe that my final picture was successful in communicating what I wanted it to do, showing failure and giving some background information.
