Another deviation from my norm here of contemplating life and faith: math.
I have, courtesy of Facebook and YouTube, discovered hexaflexagons. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIVIegSt81k) I am reasonably intrigued by these...things. I've watched two hexaflexagon videos a few times over, and have spent about 15 minutes so far playing with them myself. So far, I have learned:
1. They seem to be like this weird multi-messed up Mobius strip...
2. The folds need to be very precise--specifically, all of your vertices of your fold points need to be exact for ease of flipping.
I think that is enough for tonight. I look forward to sitting down with more paper, a pair of scissors, and a good work surface to explore these orgigam-atical mathematical things of mystery...
