Summary[edit]

Description
English: We see a few stars on the clock face.  These stellated regular dodecagons have the same center as the clock face.  How to draw the sides of such a stellated polygon?  A ray with origin at the center and passing through a vertex of the polygon, corresponds to a number of the clock face, from 1 to 12.  By starting from the vertex numbered one, for example, we can add five twelve times.  Because  1 + 5 = 6,  we decide to draw the segment with endpoints 1 and 6.  Then,  6 + 5 = 11,  so points 6 and 11 will be the endpoints of the following side.
 
Français : Sur le cadran de l’horloge il y a quelques étoiles :  quelques dodécagones réguliers étoilés.  Leur centre coïncide avec le centre de l’horloge.  Les douze sommets de la plus grande étoile sont hors champ, vous ne les voyez pas.
