I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd just get up for a bit and do trigonometry until my brain got so miserable I would have to go to sleep

Have you ever encountered a trigonometry problem so annoying you were immediately forced to go to sleep

Well neither have I but I'm hoping I can achieve this in the next hour

This is a nightmare. I am already dreaming, and this is a nightmare.

So here's the math problem I was hoping would miserable me into falling asleep: I have N screens (think of them like monitors). I need to find an arrangement (offsets, angles) that positions them in a field of view in a subjectively "pleasant" manner

I was thinking for N screens I'd imagine an (N*2)-gon, if the number of sides was even look head-on into a corner, if it's odd look into one of the sides (so one screen flat, two tilted). However, the 45 degree angles look awful. I might just have to hand-massage this

UPDATE: I just sorta... typed in some numbers... and they actually seemed to work real well. The result is completely acceptable. Once again I have tried to fight aesthetics with math and aesthetics have won

I'm still awake :/
