Quick! How many stars are on this flag? No, it’s not the American flag we use now, but a pattern with 51 stars, which will be needed if Puerto Rico becomes a state. Mathematician Skip Garibaldi worked out the most geometric layouts that will accommodate more stars if the flag has to be updated if and when states join the union.(via Neatorama)

Mr. Garibaldi is a lot smarter than me. The only numbers that don't geometrically align are 29, 69 and 87. Check it out here.
