Here are the steps for making it: 1. Take a piece of flexible material in the shape of a triangular prism: +------ must be equilateral! V _______.___________________________________________________________ /\ /|\ <--- about 30cm ---> \ / \ | about 3cm \ /____\___\|/____________________________________________________________\ " 2. Take one end, twist it through 120 degrees, and stick it to the other end (making a circle when viewed from above) (I tried this in ascii. I didn't manage it :) ) 3. Stretch the loop over 3 nails, arranged at the points of an equilateral triangle: O / \ / \ / \ / \ O <-- about 9.5cm --> O 4. Fiddle with it until it looks like the diagram at the top of this message... -- Carl R White | e-mail...: crw...@-comp.brad.ac.uk | finger...: crw...@-dcsun1.comp.brad.ac.uk | web......: http://www.student.comp.brad.ac.uk/~crwhite/ *** Anti-Spam: Header tampered with.
