Can I make a circular plate with 30355s and 30356s?

Hi,

I want to make a merry-go-round that will use the 14-stud UFO domes as a
canopy.  A calculation assuming that the edge of the wing tapers by an
integral number of studs says that the angle is just a little over 18 degrees,
which would mean that 10 pairs wouldn't quite fit together as a circle.

But it's also possible that the taper is actually an accurate 18 degrees,  and
the width is not quite integral at the narrow end.

If anyone has done a precise measurement,  or actually tried making a circle
like this,  please post a reply with what you found out.

Other suggested approaches are welcome,  too.  I have a deal for some 12-stud
quarter-circle Belville bricks arranged as a fallback.

Thanks,

Ran
