a real life math problem. excellent job.

It hurts my brain that you somehow end up with a heptagon. The triangles, the rectangle in the center, it all feels like you should get a hexagon...
God damn it... Look at the bottom, that's where it falls apart. I thought the overlap was because they're all a bit different (since it's real life and not a perfect geometry puzzle) but I'm now pretty sure it wouldn't work out even if they were all perfect. Gonna test it with CAD tomorrow afternoon, just went to bed and have a busy day so can't do it before that.
Here's the part in question:

Kinda disappointed in myself that I didn't see it until you pointed it out, it's usually so easy to notice when something off about nice geometry even when it's just a feeling at first.
Mmm samosas.
Mmm air fryer.
That sounds like a great snack for when you're pulling an all-nighter or having a long gaming session! And it seems reasonably healthy too, since it's not deep-fried like samosas often are.
Oooh yeah! Though it can get messy, I like the wrapping very crispy so they sometimes break when you bite into them and you get that stuffing on your fingers, they're not small enough to eat in one bite (well, it can be done but it's a bit too much of a mouthful). And the healthy part is exactly why I don't deep-fry them! Brushed with a light coating of a high smoke point oil is enough, tried without oil but the wrapping just turns into basically dried pasta which isn't nice.
Woah, that's like $16 of food here in LA. I'm gonna need to learn to make these.
Where did you start?
I think you might have found the gastronomical solution to the Poincaré conjecture
wait. WAIT. frozen samosas? we just got a new indian grocer in town. awwww hell yiss this is an idea.
Did you know they sell air fryers that can fit a 12" pizza?
