Mobius Band

Mobius Band
   Named after its inventor August Mobius, a German mathematician. This is a piece of paper with only one side. To make one, cut a strip of paper about six inches long and one half inch wide. Lay it flat on a table top and hold one end down. Twist the other end one hundred and eighty degrees, then bring the ends together and attach them with tape. You now have a Mobius Strip. To show that it has one side, place a pen point on the paper. Without removing the pen from the paper, draw a line along the length of the strip. Eventually the line you are drawing will reach the starting point forming an unbroken line. Mr. Wizard lives. Also called a Mobius Strip.
