As I discussed in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, I’m going through my old saved tweets and documenting them as I move to Bluesky (@peterkagey.com). Here are the last three of those tweets (all of which had video/GIF embeddings):
- Alison Martin packing (2024-03-08)
- Matt Henderson on Pringles (2022-02-20)
- Lenore with a video of a human polyhedron (2024-06-15)
Alison Martin packing
Can anyone tell me more about the geometry of this? Let me know on Bluesky!
Matt Henderson on Pringles
I watched this 12 minute YouTube video (ad?) “How Pringles Are Made In Factory” to see if Pringles would ever be extruded through a “letterbox,” but alas, they are just stamped out using molds.
Also check out this Pringles tesselation that I learned about on Bluesky from @mathgrrl.bsky.social via @johngolden.bsky.social.
These tessellations are by @theo.rooden.art.weaving on Instagram—go over there and like and share!
Lenore with a video of a human polyhedron
No, not a human pyramid—a human rhombic dodecahedron. (I reached out to the Los Angeles Public Library to see if their librarians could help me to figure out where this comes from!)
I imagine them saying to each other, “If we put our heads together, we can make a rhombic dodecahedron.”
I made a model of the polyhedron that rotates, and where the participants “put their heads together” to alternate between a 13-face solid and a rhombic dodecahedron.
