What does math plus YouTube plus Mexican food equal? Another epic episode of Vi Hart's educational entertainment!
Apparently, October is the Month of the Flexagon. According to Merriam-Webster, flexagons are folded paper figures that can be flexed along their folds to expose various arrangements of their faces. Io9 described them rather more evocatively as "scrap paper topology projects." In three of her videos, Vi Hart demonstrates that flexagons are best understood by playing with them. In her fourth video of the month, she shows us how to eat them!
Watch them all!
