(1) Click
to get the first affine transformation in the design area. Then use the
scale tool to shrink the transformation a little bit.
Its scale factor is 0.500 to start, but it needs to be shrunken to
about 0.382. To check the scale factor, click
and look at the first or fourth number. They should be the same, and
you need to adjust it until they are near 0.382.

(2) Click to
get a second affine transformation. Again, use the scale tool to shrink
the affine transformation to a scale factor of about 0.382. Notice this
time it will be easier since the second transformation will lie
directly over the first one. So, when it looks like you only have one
transformation, the scale factor is just about right! Repeat this 3
more times, for a total of 5 affine transformations, all with scale
factors of about 0.382. Notice the scale factors DO NOT have to be
exactly the same. As long as they are all about 0.382, it will work!
