Pentagons Are Terrible at One Thing

A CGP Grey video about why pentagons are bad at tiling and why hexagons are so special, in his usual playful style. It touches on honeycombs and tiling in nature.

Recommended in hexagon-grid threads as a fun but informative overview, and sometimes dropped as a light joke.
