Re: Mathemagical Box--A Mind Experiment
___That is all very good & I do use it as a stamp, rather a block print. The coloring is block printing ink. Now some math! (Like I wasn't going there with this).
___If you ink up all 6 sides of the box & on a large sheet of paper place the box on any side you choose. Now without moving the box completely from the papaer, roll it to an adjacent side. Now roll it again to a different adjacent side & so on until you have a continuous print of the box. I have to wait for my friend to take a picture of one of the prints.
___Now the question is, how many different such prints can you (I) make? I have a method to solve this in mind, but I never actually did. I don't know the answer. So, if you can tell me a method & answer I suspect is right, I'll try to check it.
___This can be the royal seal IF I get to be the Royal Mathemagician.
