I'm pretty sure my attempt would be horrible, but I am not the one illuminating a 200-page manuscript Smile

In my opinion the six-point explanation is the most elegant one and requires the least amount of explaining. The top line of the phantom star is pooled paint, something we often see in the VM. The bottom is created by a slight bend in the spiral.

I agree that this is hard to call for certain, but my money is on six.
