This morning's prompt is 'candy bar', and I'm out of prompts again! 8-P


Stuff

Brickwork could be thought of as rows of bricks offset by half a length, cut down, etc.

Each brick in a column gets offset sideways to overlap row by row.

My quick and dirty 'equilateral' triangles are quads offset by row or by column and subdivided by the shortest diagonal. Won't be exact, but it will be 'good enough'.

I've been making some sinusoidal world maps with a diamond grid of diamond quads subdivided into triangle pairs and further subd six ways and grouped by original vertices; gives me an irregular bunch of twelve sided 'not-hexagons'.

"KitKat?" Tom offered Brenda a candy bar, which she took.
"Are they still any good?!"
"Let's see."
"I'm the guinea pig?" Brenda was smiling.
"Hey, I could keep them to myself..."
"Let's just open one and share the love." She nodded to Ben and Carol, who had joined them in the store room after blocking off the hallway. The rest of the place was not yet cleared out and the hard learned procedure was to presume danger and block for it.
Tom shrugged and tore his open, breaking the kitkat into four sticks. As it happened, there was a little 'bloom', but the chocolate was still good and the wafer hadn't gone stale.
"When it's gone, it's gone," Carol said, and shamelessly licked the residue of the inner wrapper.
"Mom!" Tom was faintly scandalized.
"Back to it, peeps," Ben and Brenda said together, and they all laughed.
