I dunno ... There's many a man over here would quote you,ask what colour you wanted it painted , take a deposit and say he'd call you when it was ready........ ;)

What you need is a Möbius belt in a quantum theory flask at absolute zero. It's easy when you have the right tools.  :y

it cannot be done because you have a left handed guilbert and sullivan rotating into a right handed bonnie tyler.

Sure that an old uncle of mine had a "TRICHOTOMETRIC SUPPORT" when he had some sort of rupture years ago !

You'll never get it done without the locking kit - but be careful you don't end up with it 180o out or it will just sort of sit there and sulk at you.

There is the theory of the mobius, a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop. where time becomes a loop where time becomes a loop where time ...


sorry cant help with your Jigsaw thingy but it did remind me of the above saying... ;D

You can construct the Möbius Strip quite easily from a strip of paper which you twist once before glueing the ends together.

Try this with a flexible tube, instead of a strip, and you can construct the Klein Bottle.  This is mathematically valid, but it can't be realised in 3 dimensions.  

I rather think that's what may be wrong with the climate control on my Omega... :(

  Well i'm not surprised, it's not complete.
 The bracket has no length shown, the part that looks like a wicket has no dimensions at all and what size are the 3 holes, got to be British ::) ;D ;D
