How to determine the angle within hexagonal spiral?
Creating a hexagonal spiral around 0,
1 will be inserted in 60 deg, 2 will be inserted in 120 deg, 3 will be inserted in 180 deg, 4 will be inserted in 240 deg, 5 will be inserted in 300 deg, 6 will be inserted in 360 deg, and continue on the second levels as show below .......16..15..14 .....17..5...4...13 ...18..6...0...3...12 19..7...1...2...11..26 ...20..8...9...10..25 .....21..22..23..24 If a number is given in cell A1, I would like to determine the angle based on this structure of hexagonal spiral, such as 10 is the given number in cell A1, then 120 degree will be returned in cell B1, 9 is the given number in cell A1, then 80 degree will be returned in cell B1. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the angle? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric |

How to determine the angle within hexagonal spiral?
I'm in agreement with you Sandy. In particular, I can't see how number like
15, 22 and 23 fit into the hexagonal scheme of things (they seem to be on some angle other than one of the 60 degree lines); hence, I can't figure out how to extend the sequence of numbers in order to develop a formula for it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the angle? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Eric I notice that tracing through that array of numbers from 0 to 26 results in a spiral path. But that's all I can see. Ken Johnson |

How to determine the angle within hexagonal spiral?
Good observation Ken. I think that you have cracked it, at least partially,
but it does not quite equate to what the OP said: ......16..15..14 ....17..5...4...13 ..18..6...0...3...12 19..7...1...2...11..26 ..20..8...9...10..25 ....21..22..23..24 1 will be inserted in 60 deg, 2 will be inserted in 120 deg, on this structure of hexagonal spiral, such as 10 is the given number in cell A1, then 120 degree will be returned in cell B1 So presumably 0, 2, 10, 24 are all on the 120 deg line If so then surely 0,1, 8, 21 are on the 60 deg line But if the above is true then 9 would be halfway between 60& 120 ie 90 Deg but the OP says it is equal to 80 Deg. A1, then 120 degree will be returned in cell B1, 9 is the given number in cell A1, then 80 degree will be returned in cell B1. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Ken Johnson" wrote in message ...

How to determine the angle within hexagonal spiral?
I understood the spiral path being traced out, and I guess I can see that 15
is at 90 degrees like 9 is... but there is (at least to my mind) still a problem with 22 and 23... they do not lie on a diagonal from 0 unless, in the first 4 tiers of the spiral, they are the only number on that diagonal. Anyway, I would like to see the OP give us a little bit more information on how the numbers are laid down on the spiral path. Rick "Sandy Mann" wrote in message ... Good observation Ken.

How to determine the angle within hexagonal spiral?
Yet another solution with defined names:
Array ={1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9;10} Square =3*Array*(Array-1) Luka =MAX(Square*(Square<=$A$1)) Lukb =60/MAX(Array*(Square<=$A$1)) B1 =($A$1-Luka)*Lukb |
