Snowflakes are hexagonal not triangular.

Ja, I would cut Tyler some slack on that one, assuming he is from Florida or
California and had never seen an actual snowflake.  I was aged 19 years
before I saw one.  Tyler perhaps could have made snowflakes that had been
fractured into four triangular bits by a passing aircraft, each of which
would still be a snowflake by definition.  Of course if he did that, it
would violate the rule that snowflakes are hexagonal, so what shall we do?
