    Thank you for the link. I found it very interesting, and I had to drop 2nd year algebra! Who'da thunk it from quilting?

    A thing of beauty. I'll now be able to "justify" my love of quilting (confession time: I'm a retired math teacher). Thank you for this link.

    I used to show that movie to my AP Calculus classes on the day before the holidays. The kids would crack up at the "in" jokes, e.g. the square roots on the trees. The more math you know, the funnier that movie becomes. Thanks for the reminder.

    Eyeballacci -- LOL! Me, too. My guess is that the most of have that "feeling" or sense that our borders look right to us is because "right" has this natural mathematical order that we gravitate to without knowing it. Instinct, you might say. We are not satisfied until our sense of order is settled.
