Five-Set Venn Diagram?
Date: 11/25/2001 at 00:20:13 From: Bryan Owens Subject: Venn Diagrams What does a five-set Venn diagram look like? I cannot figure out how to get all of the circles to line up correctly. Thank you for your help.

The triangles do not need to be congruent. I know that the resulting diagram will have 32 distinct regions, but I haven't been able to make it work.

The situation with triangles is much messier to consider, since while the best you can do with two circles is divide the plane into 4 regions, two triangles can cut it up into 8.
