Not really a riddle but for those who know or find out, do not post the solution!
Here we go
Imagine you have 3 points that form an equilateral triangle.
Point A, B and C.
1. Start anywhere X,Y, leave a dot
2. Randomly select one of the three points. (A, B or C)
3. Move halfway between wherever you are and that point and leave a dot.
4. Then randomly select one of the three points again.
5. Move halfway between your current position and that point and leave another dot.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 10,000 times
What is the shape that you get?
Try to visualize it internally
If you already know what this is, don't say anything please:) example code snippet solution
