If you thought cutting apart paper Mobius strips in math class was fun, you should check out this statue: it's a giant Mobius strip! The statue, Topological III, was created by Robert Wilson, an American artist and scientist. Do you know how many sides a Mobius strip has? (I won't reveal it yet, but if you know, please post the answer!) You can prove the number of sides it has by running your hand along it until you get back where you started, but you'll have to walk around the statue to do so. It's so cool! And still a little mind-boggling, even after you do it.

Go Savannah and.... Franscesca? Francesca, is that you in Ecuador? You guys are right: Mobius strips only have one side. That was a fun class. I just wish we could have taken a field trip to see the statue!
No, we're not hiking to Tennessee. We drove from Florida. It's only about 12 hours, and we had four people taking turns driving.
