non-congruent alternate interior angles

This is a game of pick up sticks. Pick up sticks is a fun game to play with yourself, or others. It is where sticks are placed on the ground and someone has to pick one up without making the other sticks move. In this image there are only three sticks left. The way the sticks are placed creates non-congruent alternate interior angles. The yellow and blue stick create angle one which is an alternate interior angle to angle number two which is created by the blue and green stick. The yellow and green sticks are clearly not parallel so according to the alternate interior angles theorem the interior angles are not congruent. This is an image I took myself.
