    I love the Seychelles flag, because it’s a perfect transition between the Romanian and the Hungarian flag, two countries that (in good Balkans custom) basically hate each other.

      I know there’s math for this and it’s probably a relatively simple equation, but I’m trying to brute force it by calculating the area of each triangle assuming it’s a 3*6 grid.

      It’s a slog.

      Edit: Also I got stuck. The white part of the flag is the sum of a triangle roughly 1•6.32•6.7, and one roughly 5•2•6.7, but I forgot how to calculate the areas of scalene triangles. I know you have to make two right triangles out of them next, but I don’t know how to do that without just guessing and checking against the Pythagorean theorem, which is way more math than I want to do without a pencil and paper
