Description

Design your best-looking snowflake! Take a break with this non-competitive, non-scientific puzzle and fold up a protein chain with 6-fold symmetry. This puzzle is not worth any points, and no solutions will be analyzed for scientific merit. But the Foldit team will sort through any solutions that you share with scientists, and we'll pick out our favorite snowflake designs to be highlighted in the next newsletter!

(Dear mother nature,
I'm kidding! Please don't let there be snowfall in Tennessee! It's bad enough here with the pandemic that I don't need their lack of snow-driving experience compounding matters! lol)
