A new field picture at Koksweg in the Netherlands on April 9, 2014 appeared next to the landscape image of an “airplane walking on land”. Did Malaysia flight MH370 really crash into the ocean, or did it land somewhere safely?
“Put your feet out, Sylvester, to slow this danged plane down! We is coming in to land!”

Geometry
3 diagram file(s) on this page. measured from the diagram itself, and experimental: the extractor's rotational order is right on 88.8 % of a 200-diagram hand-labelled set against a gate of 90 %, so read a number here beside the picture rather than instead of it.
| diagram | rotational symmetry | elements | rings | mirror | fill |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc cb97717a | ≈ none found | 13 | 1 | 0.94 | 0.1364 |
Experimental, and marked ≈ wherever it appears. These numbers are read off a drawing, not off the field: the extractor's rotational order agrees with a hand-labelled set on 88.8 per cent of 200 diagrams against a gate of 90 per cent, its element count is within one on 97.5 per cent, and its ring count is not calibrated at all. Nothing in the analysis tree is derived from the rotational order while that gate is unmet.
Diagrams that look like these: cc cb97717a · ccc cb97717a— the nearest by perceptual hash. The whole archive is browsable by shape in the shape section, and this formation's own diagrams go straight into that grid: show them in the grid.
