Klein bottles!

12Feb07

Some people I know run an annual math competition called the Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament. The winners get the most excellent prize of a lab-quality glass KLEIN BOTTLE.

I don’t have any particular interest in math tournaments, and I wouldn’t otherwise have had anything to do with HMMT, but three years ago I got suckered into painting the HMMT logo on the bottles. Come to think of it, mollishka did the suckering. Anyway, this is what I did with my weekend. Because getting to play with Klein bottles is just cool.

  1. Totally take full credit for the suckering. I’m glad you’re doing it again—the laser engraved ones were so not as cool, and your artsy-fartsy skillz are too good to let go unused.
