Could someone please explain how a comb, comprised of hexagonal cells can be arranged such that the central comb, with inverted Y's on BOTH SIDES of the comb can be constructed?
As the Y or inverted Y is a product of the cell alignment on the reverse side of the comb then geometrically it appears an impossible construction.
I am aware of the many references online, such as the one below, but they gloss over this aspect completely.

IF it is possible, then could someone draw the hexagonal arrangement of the two sides of the comb in different coloured ink, scan it and post it somewhere where this seemingly geometrical impossibility can be viewed by all?
