Arranging 15 625 dots into a pattern. That is 5×5×5×5×5×5, so the dots can be arranged into pentagons within pentagons, going 6 levels down. This animation shows different amounts of spacing between the dots, revealing some interesting star patterns. [more] [code]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbj059Yiol1qfg7o3o1_250.gif)
