Puzzle Description:

So the correct answer to the geometrical problem: This is NOT a regular octogon. This is a classical for the oblique proof and the bisectrix thesis. IF octogon is regular, then its internal angles are 135°. If it 135°, then the angle in blue deltoid (showed by red arrowhead) is 45°. But it is NOT 45° (cause of bisectrix thesis or other method)... So THIS IS NOT A REGULAR OCTOGON.

Real octagon or not, I liked solving this puzzle. :)

OK Jacqueline, thx... :)

That angle is arctg2 - arctg0.5 = 36,87°
