1. ## Impossible object

Here's something to drive your friends crazy.

Take a 3-by-5 file card and cut it on the solid lines.
Crease it on the dotted line.
Code:
      *---*-------*---*
|   |       |   |
|   |       |   |
|   |   C   |   |
|   |       |   |
|   |       |   |
|   |       |   |
* - * - * - * - *
|       |       |
|       |       |
|   A   |   B   |
|       |       |
|       |       |
|       |       |
*-------*-------*
Hold section C with your right hand; let the sheet hang vertically.
Hold section A with your left hand and swing it 90o toward you.
Now hold section C with your left hand.
Hold section B with your right hand and swing it 90o away from you.

You will have an object that looks like this:
Code:
                      *---*   *-------*

/   * - * - *   /
/       /   /   /
/       /   /   /
/       /   /   /
/       /   /   /

After you've marveled at how impossible it looks,
