A 56-Pointed Star, To Mark the Occasion of Turning 56 Years Old
I’ve been making and blogging these birthday stars for well over a decade, and see no reason to stop any time soon. This one is made of four {7/3} heptagrams, shown in blue, with four {7/2} heptagrams shown in yellow. The area of intersection of these two types of star polygon is shown in green. This works to yield a 56-pointed star because (7)(4) + (7)(4) = 28 + 28 = 56.
(2)(7) = 14

My 2023 Birthday Star
Today is the day I turn 55, so here is a 55-pointed star to mark the ocassion. It’s composed of eleven five-pointed stars, which works because (5)(11) = 55.
Tens
This started with a ring of ten {10/3} star decagons, and then proceeded from there.
