Soda Pong with Tangents
While I was setting up a clean game of Soda Pong, I took a close look at the formation of the cups. I then saw that the brims of the cups were externally tangent circles. The cups touch at a point of tangency. The radii of the cups are the same and they fit. This makes it able for exactly six cups to fit around one center cup. It was a great game that also allowed me to find my next Geometry Hunters post.(~KM5)
