Alchemist A. Rular entered the room with the brightest of ideas on how to optimize the company's newest product, the instant mirror coat.  The idea was to fit it into the smallest hexagon, as this was a simple and holdable shape, and to make the instructions as simple as possible, as to reduce the amount of moving parts within the system.  While the hexagon part proved simple enough, Rular stared over the hexagonal grid endlessly looking for anything more than a theory of how to improve.  It wasn't that he had no ideas, it was that he had no idea how to implement them.  Layout after layout after layout, failing to produce more than a mere 21 period.  "Perhaps this is a task for more a more experienced alchemist" Rular said walking away to begin on less productive work.
