Abstract
In performing an exercise of “What if not”, one can end up with a paucity of structure. Adding alternative structure can be a rich source of discovery, as we present here. The framework of this presentation is the original voyage of discovery, from a trivial geometric problem to the derivation of some unexpected trigonometric formulae based on regular polygons. The original “voyage” has been changed only sufficiently to make the text readable.
