NASA doesn't need to spend more studying Saturn's hexagon. I just solved it with a hand blender and some peas (lemmy.nz)

The people who figured out the math of the hexagon also figured out you could do it with a bucket of water and a turntable.
Made for good demonstrations when reporting the results.
(They used more regulated and measured pieces for more rigorous tests. They just also had a bucket)
