This is another one, vandalised by buffoons:
The link to the PDF to
make the strip is http://members.ozemail.com.au/~macinnis/writing/Mobius%20ants.pdf
Well, that's gone, but here it is. back again
Now here's the context:The pictures below
show what you get when you cut the strip. The first picture shows that a cut
down the middle gives a single loop, but there is a surprising result when you
test for Möbiusness (my own word). The test is simple: draw a pen line along
one side until you get back to the start: If the paper is still a Möbius strip,
the line will be on both sides, but in the first picture, that doesn’t happen:
Now in the second
picture, there are two interlinked loops. I cut off the big ants, and something
odd happened: the little ants are isolated on a Möbius strip, but the big ants
are on a non-Möbius strip.
Another Möbius strip, but this one has been
cut
