Lol You're not a mathematician, are you?!! We haven't said anything about the provenance of the new rug. To me, yes, it does look Ikea-like. But it seems intrusive to ask. The only reason we know that the old one is Ikea is because it was the same pattern as the one before it, only it was grey on black instead of black on grey. I said it looked like a negative photograph of the previous rug, then he allowed how he had purchased both at Ikea. It looked like a mathematician's rug, btw!
