Ok, new puzzle.

Can you construct a convex polygon so that all the interior angles are equal, but the sides are of length 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (in some order)?

Convex polygon just means a polygon whose internal angles are < 180.

So a regular hexagon is convex, but something like:

/\/\
\ /
\ /

(supposed to be a 6-sided heart shape)

is not because the V at the top has an internal angle > 180.
