Seeing Pi today reminded me of the rhombus strip, something
that always fascinated me as a child. Does anyone know any
stragne properties of it apart from having only one side and
what happens when you cut/draw along it?

You mean when you mix it with salt and it explodes?

The one sided shape- to make one cut a strip of paper
"bookmark shaped". twist one end 180 degrees then staple the
ends together (length of staple running parallel to the long
edge of the paper).

This is the rhombus strip, try drawing along the length of
it or cutting it length wise...

I know that weird things happen when you cut it into more
than 2 pieces. Try 3 and 4 pieces.

I was thinking that, I'm going to make a really big wide one
tommorow and cut it into load sof little ones.
