The procedure: F R (six times) will draw a regular hexagon if the angle is set to 60°: F R F R F R F R F R F R
If this is followed by an extra R, when Run Program is pressed after the first hexagon it will draw the hexagon again but after a 60° turn. Repeat this four more times.

Set the angle to 72°. Make it turn only 3 times instead of 5: F R F R F R. Then make it turn an extra R. Do this 5 times and drag the patterns to where you want them.
But can you work out how to draw it in this orientation?
The key is the direction the turtle is facing when it begins to draw.

This is produced, surprisingly with an angle of 45°:
F R F R F R F R F R F R and then an extra R.
So what about the other two???
