Segol Segol Segol ( ) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign that is represented by three dots forming an upside down equilateral triangle "ֶ ". As such, it resembles an upside down therefore sign (a because sign) underneath a letter. In modern Hebrew, it indicates the phoneme which is similar to "e" in the English word sound in "sell" and is transliterated as an "e". In Modern Hebrew, segol does the Hataf Segol ( , "Reduced Segol"). The reduced (or "ħataf") niqqud exist for segol, patah, and kamatz which contain a shva next to it. The following table contains the pronunciation
Circle packing in an equilateral triangle Circle packing in an equilateral triangle Circle packing in an equilateral triangle is a packing problem in discrete mathematics where the objective is to pack "n" unit circles into the smallest possible equilateral triangle. Optimal solutions are known for "n" < 13 and for any triangular number of circles, and conjectures are available for "n" < 28. A conjecture of Paul Erdős and Norman Oler states that, if is a triangular number, then the optimal packings of and of circles have the same side length: that is, according to the conjecture, an optimal packing for circles can be found by
