    Question Snowflake, Christmas Decoration or Tessellation?

    Don't spend too much time on this Challenge as "It's Christmas!".

    Challenge - Starting with an equilateral triangle, can you accurately recreate a Xara-solution to drawing the Koch Snowflake?
    Answer - no-one can as it is infinitely recursive.

    Here is my Snowflake:

    To be clear, I want a set of steps allowing up to a fifth recursion.
    Each recursion simply involves replace the middle third of any current straight line with a path that adds two sides of a (one-third) smaller equilateral triangle:

    Enjoy it without getting too gnarly.

    Sorry, but this time I'll be too drunk or busy eating everything to even understand the challenge... Marry Christmas to everyone here!

    Marco, just make sure you try a Koch perimeter walk to get rid of the excesses.
