Klein's bottle: the reason why the topologist died in the desert.

They tried to fill it with water, but every time they poured some in, it was out.

I thought he died because he mistook his water cup for a doughnut and ate it.

@number6

You don't die from eating a crunchy doughnut.

Your teeth might suffer, though.

@yours_truly @number6 it is the only drinking vessel where I think it is not only appropriate, but also reasonable to use a straw not only to drink, but also to fill it

We solved that equation problem by multiplying the plane with two. 🤣
in reply to Mina

No. We threw money at it. 🤣

Also, a pair of scissors would have been a division. 😝

The multiplication made sure that the driving parts of the formula behaves differently as far as the folding properties of the planar surface is concerned. 🤣

The disadvantage of this method is, that it takes a certain effort and time to implement. But it works pretty well. 👍

So that explains it. When we're dreaming we've actually slipped into another dimension.

this appears to be similar to the geometry of hanging some of my wife’s clothes

Das ist so wie USB-A Stecker. Die sind auch mehrdimensional. Und erst wenn man sie um die richtige Achse gedreht hat, passts.
