Dumb question: I've put points on a sphere using a Fibonacci series, then relaxed them and triangulated them, and there are some 5's and 7's, not all hexagons. I thought an all-hexagon tiling wasn't possible. How do they do it?
I wonder what happens if an artificial island and a major city pops up in one of those pentagons - presumably a fun tech debt to tackle :)
> Since it is not possible to tile the icosahedron with only hexagons, we chose to introduce twelve pentagons, one at each of the icosahedron vertices.
