In all honesty this is where the music major in me regrets having such problems with math. I was reading reordering segments to form a polygon this morning and it scratched an old itch that I have tried many times in the past to itch. What I'd like to find is the most elegant way to express perfect hexagons from data. I have always marveled at the hex since the old Avalon Hill Bookshelf games and held a facination with them. Looking at the quick elagent responses to that node I was wondering if some 'big brain' around here could do that in a snap as it would be most appreciated.

As this expresses laziness not of the Perlish kind downvotes would be understood.
