And now, the Rabbi Daniel Appen Show.

The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Appen on demand on the Blaze Radio Network.

Greetings, happy warriors, and thank you for tuning in to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show.

And thank you, as always, for all that you do in telling other folks about the show.

Because without you doing that, there is no way to explain the growth that we enjoy,

and which I find so gratifying and so encouraging to me in preparing the

show. Now, here's what I would like you to do today. Remember, our focus is on revealing how

the world really works. And here's what I think will be most helpful. How about you get a piece of paper

or a notepad and a pencil or a pen or you could use, if you really are very high tech, you could

use your tablet with one of those drawing pens and whatever it is, go ahead and draw a circle, about maybe

anything between two and five inches in diameter, just, you know, easy, comfortable size,

easy to work with. Now, if you want to do this really, well, you'll go and get hold of a compass.

I mean, every household needs a compass, even if you don't have any children in school,

even if you didn't keep your old compass from school geometry classes. Come on, as an adult, it's time to get a fairly

decent, reasonable quality compass. They only cost a few dollars and they're good to have.

For what? Well, for all kinds of interesting geometric puzzles that you'd enjoy, but also for the purposes of today's show. Okay, so you've done a circle. Now what you want to do is place five equidistant points around the circumference of the circle. Now, because a full circle is 360 degrees, in other words, if you'd imagine a radial

arm in the circle describing one full revolution, it will, by convention, have gone through 360 degrees.

And so a half a circle is 180 and a quarter circle is 90. Well, if you divide a circle

into five, as we're doing, it'll come out to be 72. So each of these, if you were to, don't do this,

but if you were to draw a line connecting each of these five circles, five points on the circumference of the circle to the center,
