6 hexagons are red, one blue, arranged in a honeycomb pattern, where 1 hexagon is surrounded by 6 others

Did you know a Hexagon can be constructed using the angle pi/3 a lot of times? This is because a hexagon is made of 6 triangles with equal side length - the radius of the hexagon. The inner angles of these triangles is pi/3. Using this information and the trigonometric functions sin and cos can be used to draw such a picture.

interesting point. My program draws 6 red hexagons, and in the one a blue one "overdraws" the others at the border.

I only see 3 that are fully red

May I ask how many hexagons you see in total? Do you count the partial ones in an extra category? Fully red, partially red and fully blue? I see 7 in total.

7 total: 1 pure blue, 3 pure red, 3 mostly red with a blue edge
