Hexagon around each vertex. A regular hexagon can also be created as a truncated equilateral triangle, with Schläfli symbol t{3}. Seen with two types (colors) of edges, this form only has D symmetry. A truncated hexagon, t{6}, is a dodecagon, {12}, alternating 2 types (colors) of edges. An alternated hexagon, h{6}, is a equilateral triangle, {3}. A regular hexagon can be stellated with equilateral triangles on its edges, creating a hexagram. A regular hexagon can be dissected into 6 equilateral triangles by adding a center point. This pattern repeats within the regular triangular tiling. A regular hexagon can be extended into
Magic hexagon Magic hexagon A magic hexagon of order "n" is an arrangement of numbers in a centered hexagonal pattern with "n" cells on each edge, in such a way that the numbers in each row, in all three directions, sum to the same magic constant "M". A normal magic hexagon contains the consecutive integers from 1 to 3"n" − 3"n" + 1. It turns out that normal magic hexagons exist only for "n" = 1 (which is trivial, as it is composed of only 1 hexagon) and "n" = 3. Moreover, the solution of order 3 is essentially unique. Meng also
