Figure 11
The vertex v is the unique vertex of triangle S which is the center of a double hexagon tile. The two lower corner triangles formed in T, with common vertex w, have opposite triangles shown in purple. The question is, what happens at the vertex ? Neither of the two possibilities shown here can occur. On the left, the triangle with vertices and w would be left unclosed at w. On the right we are in the situation shown on the right side of Fig. 10, which we know violates the color change property. |
