Also, there cannot be two .5 multipliers and two sqrt(3)/2 multipliers on each side, as then for horizontal positioning, while the sum of the side lengths for the two .5 multipliers on each side would have to equal each other, the differences would also have to equal each other, making them the same pair of numbers.
