I agree with [[User:Hout|Hout]]. Three Koch curves makes a snow flake.
Note that if most people look at the existing programs for test cases,
so if the first one had a snow flake, the others will just copy it.

A single Koch curve or a triangle of Koch curves forming a Koch snowflake ?

The terms ('curve' and 'snowflake') are used as if co-extensive in the current edit of the referenced wiki article, but I'm not sure that that's reliable or correct. Hout (talk) 12:52, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

From the Wikipedia article: "The Koch curve originally described by Helge von Koch is constructed using only one of the three sides of the original triangle. In other words, three Koch curves make a Koch snowflake."
