Evil is all around the compass.
1/5 of a 360 degree circle would be 72 degrees not 33. 5 times 33 is 165.
Anyway, with 5 peaks and 5 valleys each angle would be 1/10th of a circle, to move the star from a valley to a peak you would need to divide the circle by 10, 36 degrees, so Trog is right. It is exactly 36 degrees from where it began, if it was 1/5th it would be exactly the same position with a different valley of the star at the bottom.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It is possible, but not with a star with equal peaks and have the point be exactly at bottom center if it started with the valley at exactly bottom center. 3 degrees would be noticable to the eye, it would seem off-kilter, and would be. A star rotated exactly 1/10th of its position would wind up with the point at the bottom if it started with a valley at the bottom. You simply do not have the "degrees" correct.

I understand what you're saying. You're right on the degrees, Im saying it can be three degrees off and still look basically right. I guess you could say we disagree about the perceptive abilities of the eye, but I think it's MORE correct to say that once again, we are at odds because because my model of reality is superset of yours. It's not that your views are "wrong", as they relate to YOUR understanding of things, it 's that you can't see the bigger picture.
