Describing it as “some of the strangest geology in the universe” might be a little strong, but “some of the strangest geology yet encountered in one tiny corner of the universe by a species that has barely managed to leave the planet of its birth and is just now beginning to catch glimpses of planets other than the…
Metal Sporks of course!
Why have they forsaken the subtle danger of Lex Luthor!
Hugs for you. And now being loud: the kid’s dad and I were initially separated and then ended up back together because of a mess of horrible things that happened all together, at once. The relationship was dead in the water so there was no chance of this working out- and after many years of trying to push him out and…
“Adam Sandler’s latest film is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever watched. At no point in his rambling, incoherent movie was he even close to anything that could be considered funny or even mildly entertaining. Everyone who bought tickets is now dumber for having watched it. I award him no points, and…
I’m oddly grateful to Trump’s idiot lawyer for raising this issue. I think a lot of people are ignorant about how absolutely archaic US laws regarding rape, abuse and other acts by a husband towards his wife are and were very recently. It’s useful to remind everyone on a regular basis that most of our laws regarding…
My wife REALLY wants me to throw away my VHS player and my Tupperware bin FULL of VHS cassettes... and even though I NEVER watch them or use them, I can’t seem to get rid of them.

It's interesting how people who came up with the solution independently arrived at the same 2 dimensional solution rotated in different ways. Mine looks like a mirror version of yours.
Ah. Yep. I was overlooking the asymmetry of the cigar. Thanks.
Because you’ve rewritten the question to require exactly ten rows of three trees, and no rows of less than three trees. To cure the issue, let’s define a “row” as any three trees in a line.
If you’d count 2 trees as a row, then every combination of 2 points/trees (definition of a line) would be a row. Because of this, we have to consider a row as a minimum of 3 points in a line
Don’t forget A-G, , H-I, H-C, I-C, B-G
It changes the symmetry a bit. The second person can place the pointed end of their cigar staggered with the first. Now the first player can’t place a corresponding cigar with 180-degree rotation and must place a mirrored cigar to retain some symmetry (otherwise the outcome is not general, at least not with any simple…
I’ve drawn a diagram for this. The green circles represent each of the 9 trees on a 5x7 grid located at 1A, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4C, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 7E
