Overseen in a recent graduates post: You know how every time you see a scene in the Red Keep on Kings Landing and, again noticing how everything in the castle is heptagonal, you marvel at how truly rich and powerful the Targaryens must have been? Because a heptagon is not a constructible polygon, since an n-sided polygon is only constructible if the odd prime factors of n are distinct fermat primes, and seven is not a fermat prime? So it must have been extraordinarily difficult and expensive to draft and construct a gigantic castle with seven-sided everything? Good. Thats what I think about when I watch Game of Thrones, too.
