Suzi, YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT! Lets see if we can get that lightbulb to turn on, I'm gonna try. Ok, looking at your pic, focusing on bottom right hand corner. Visually remove the 1/2 hexs that are hanging out space(just the half in space now) When you do that, do you see the "row" that is created with "1/2 of a full, then the leftover 1/2 of one you took away, then 1/2 of a full, then the leftover 1/2 of one you took away, etc". I think if you can see that "row" you are on your way. All of your rows will be 1/2 of one hex facing one way, and then next portion is 1/2 of the next hex facing the other way. Hope that didnt muddy the waters even more.
