I have one other technique that I haven’t documented yet. I saw William
Howard doing some slanted walls for shop fronts, and had to work out the
maths behind it.
The technique is for fitting in a wall that slants in or out by two studs.
The slanted section can be any length. Look at the diagram below for 2, 4
and 6-stud long examples:
By comparing the top and bottom images, you can begin to see how it works.
The top image uses one yellow (or blue or green) plate between the two red
plates to show the spacing. Now consider the length of the diagonal across
that yellow plate, from one red plate to the other. If you rotate that
yellow plate, its other diagonal - the same length - bridges the gap just as
well.
The same trick works for any length plate. You just need wall or plate
hinges at each end to hold the diagonal in place.

Excellent application of mathematics skills!
Geometry is terribly underrated.
Thanks!
