Alex I am having trouble finding a frame of reference where I can imagine three 180d angles. If I recall, Herbert or George also surmised it you example might be considered a total of 180d. From my perspective, if I raise the center point just a hair off the equator I would see a triangle. The center angle close to 180d, and the other two close to 0d. Same if I raise and end point just a hair. How do I adjust my frame of reference to imagine three 180d angles in your above example? Bill
