 The correct way to draw a pentagram is to start like the first two panels, draw a line from the top point to the left leg, then from the left leg to the right arm. However, instead of drawing the next line upwards as Randall did, you need to draw it parallel to the "ground". After that, you go down to the right leg, then finish off with the top point.
-In the title text, Randall takes the most extreme reaction to the problem by converting to {{w|Judaism}} just so he can use its {{w|Star of David| six-pointed star}} symbol, which he hopes is easier to draw because it is composed of two {{w|equilateral triangle}}s. This is completely absurd, as no sane human would change their entire religious beliefs just so they could more easily draw a star. {{Citation needed}}

 A series of similar failed attempts at drawing a five-pointed star can later be seen in the inside cover of some editions of Randall's book, [[What If? (book)|What If?]]. The five-pointed star is one subject of [[3203: Binary Star]].

-[[Randall]] attempts to draw a {{w|five-pointed star}}; the <s>easiest</s> traditional way to do this free-hand is by drawing a {{w|pentagram}}, the simplest regular star figure in geometry. Once you've seen it done, you can usually draw a pentagram in one continuous motion. Unfortunately, while drawing the star Randall gets self-conscious and messes up, similar to how many attempts to drawing the star go, especially when trying to remember how.
