Buffon's original problem suggests several natural variations. His observation that the midpoints of the sides are the centroids of adjacent vertices suggests that you might consider other centroids. Forgetting centroids, there are many other ways to construct new points based on pairs of vertices: and there is also the question whether the original polygon needs to be a plane polygon at all. You decide to investigate the results of finding the centroids of sets of three adjacent vertices: when you have done so - turn to Frame 12. You investigate the same process starting with a skew polygon (one whose vertices do not lie in a plane) - turn to Frame 8.

The Windows Shortcut link to another file or folder. Most users still refer to this link as a shortcut or desktop shortcut. Shortcuts (as identified in the Help Index under Shortcut Keys) are either accelerator keys or keyboard shortcuts. Users refer to accelerator keys as Alt-keys, and to keyboard shortcuts as hotkeys. SolidWorks shortcut menus are commonly called the right mouse button (RMB) menus, and have detached toolbars called context bars for both right- and left-click options. These are commonly known as the RMB bar and the LMB bar. Shortcut Tabs (found as the shortcut entry in the SolidWorks Help Index). This presumably refers to DriveWorksXpress functionality, although there is no direct mention of that in the Help entry. DriveWorksXpress is beyond the scope of this book. Shortcut Bars are commonly known as the S key toolbar.
