Impossible Oval

Yes, it's an intriguing device! 

I sometimes make one for the Grandkids or friends, and play a game with them. I ask them to cut the strip lengthwise, but write down first what the result will be, specifying how many pieces, how (or if) they are linked, and how many half-twists will be in each piece, then to repeat the operation on each piece. It's amusing to watch their eyes rolling as they try to imagine what will happen .  Big Grin
