Extract
Some years ago an interesting article appeared in the Gazette [1] about a young student J. E. Cubbon who had found a theorem on the number of odd coefficients appearing in a row of Pascal’s triangle. Whilst trying to prove Cubbon’s conjecture in my own way, I found an unexpected relation between Pascal’s triangle and the construction of regular polygons.
