Growing up, a true star had 5 points, but not pointing down like the Satanist star (which I wouldn't have known back then).

And all True Scotsmen have nothing BUT 5 pointed ones!

I think you are being a little facetious, too, but maybe not. It is quite tricky cutting paper stars with scissors as children when they have 5 points. They have to be perfectly proportioned. Maybe we traced from one perfectly shaped or there was a trick I've forgotten.

I'd have to give my mind quite a workout and not quite sure I could solve it. I'd try to divide a circle in the proper number of radians, then connect to the center. Finally with a ruler, mark the star edges. But wait. Where in the circle would I draw the outline lines to; it wouldn't be the center. Maybe circumscribe a smaller circle and divide that into 10 radians? Too much for me right now. lol Gotta be a better way.

I hope they don't have some sinister symbolism. To this day, I guess I would prefer a 5-pointed one lol.
