picture of honeycomb ?
I think we need a picture of a honeycomb to illustrate "hexagonal cells".
The Main Page currently mentions
"the ideal cellular network has evenly distributed hexagonal cells"
-- but clicking on hexagonal just redirects to hexagon, which doesn't say anything about hexagonal cells (hexagonal arrays). It only talks about single hexagons.

number of regions
Do any of you Wikipedians know the number of regions a hexagon with all of its diagonals shown determines?? 66.245.12.170 23:05, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
- A regular hexagon has 25. A general hexagon, assumed to have no more than two diagonals intersecting at any point (other than a vertex) has 26. -- Smjg 11:08, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
See Talk:Diagonal for more details.
"Sexagon"
Is "sexagon" really a good term?? I say no. "Hexagon" is completely Greek. "Sex" is a Latin prefix. If the word were Latin, it would be "sexangle". See Greek numerical prefixes and Latin numerical prefixes. 66.245.11.175 14:05, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC) indeed m.e. 12:03, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I don't think I've ever heard it called a sexagon, though the equally mixed-up nonagon for enneagon is common, and I've also heard of septagon instead of heptagon. So if the term's to be mentioned, I suppose it ought to have some wording discouraging its use.... -- Smjg 16:23, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- While you're at it, why not discourage television too? : ) Doops 05:11, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- "Television" does not have a Greek or Latin numerical prefix, so what's so special about it?? 66.245.103.69 01:08, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
