Reconstruction of the
Sompting 3-06-2002 formation
1. Draw a square.
2. Construct the inscribed circle of square 1. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.
3. Construct the circumscribed circle of square 1.
4. Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 2.
5. Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 4.
6. Construct the inscribed hexadecagon (regular 16-sided polygon) of circle 2. Number the angular points counterclockwise, starting from the rightmost angular point with nr. 0.
7. Draw the connecting line between angular points nr. 1 and nr. 12 of hexadecagon 6.
8. Construct a circle concentric to circle 2, tangent to line 7.
9. Copy circle 3 to angular point nr. 0 of hexadecagon 6.
10. Copy circle 3 to angular point nr. 8 of hexadecagon 6.
11. Copy circle 3 to angular point nr. 15 of hexadecagon 6.
12. Copy circle 3 to angular point nr. 7 of hexadecagon 6.
13. Draw the connecting line between angular points nr. 3 and nr. 12 of hexadecagon 6.
14. Construct a circle concentric to circle 2, tangent to line 13.
15. Copy circle 14 twice, to the outermost intersections of circles 9 and 11 and of circles 10 and 12.
16. Copy circle 14 another two times, to the lower intersection of circle 9 and rightmost circle 15, and to the upper intersection of circle 10 and leftmost circle 15.
17. Only circles 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 16 are needed for the reconstruction.
18. Leave out all parts not visible in the formation.
