Abstract: For $n\geq 3$, a triangulation of an $n$-punctured sphere supports a hyperbolic structure. However, in general there are two distinct ways to achieve this goal. Restricting to the case of $4$-punctured spheres, we see that the two methods are equivalent. After providing the relevant background, I will discuss the proof of this equivalence.
