Moroccan Geometry: S6 HW: 8-fold with Jellyfish and Solomon's Seal

  The homework pattern is simply the class pattern shifted along the diagonal, such that the Solomon seal, at first in the corner, is now at the center of the design. The ball, formerly at the center of the pattern, has been changed into sfets at the corners of this pattern (inked in gold). Paraphrasing the instructions as written on this page: 1. Draw a circle nearly to the edge of the page and divide it into 16ths 2. Draw another circle whose radius is equal to the distance of a line drawn between 16th marks.  3. Divide this circle into 16th, and label these points 1 to 16, with 16 at the top. Draw lines that extend through the outer circle from points 15 to 5 & 13 to 7, 15 to 9 & 1 to 7, 1 to 11 & 3 to 9, and 3 to 13 & 5 to 11. This creates the Solomon Seal and Looza in the center of the drawing, and defines the sides of the sfets. 4. Label the points where the lines from the previous step cross the outer circle with the letters A through P, with A just to the right
