Yes, this square with the two triplet sums is what I was looking for, although I was trying to create this with only the numbers 1-36 and no duplicates. It...
For those trying to design new triangle flexagons, one detail worth knowing is that there may be more variants of a particular flexagon than there are for the...
This is a significant discovery concerning greater numbers of variations for non equilateral triangle flexagons. I bet this has implications to other polygons...
Here’s a new path puzzle - http://loki3.com/flex/maze/deca-paths.html - this time on a right triangle decaflexagon. I find this one interesting because it...
In haste, my first attempt at this decaflexagon puzzle resulted in an impossible puzzle to solve. Instead of reading the clear directions, I cut out the two...
Earlier this year I had been exploring the dodecaflexagon frieze patterns, and have just recently had a chance to put together the maps for the 3, 4, and 5...
I received this from a Google alert, and you may find it of interest. http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/daily/2007/11/14/orourke-on-geometric-reductionism/ or...
It's interesting to see the patterns for the various 5-sided dodecas. I'll be especially interested to see all 9 6-sided dodecas (I assume there will be 9)....
I've created a picture puzzle on a hexaflexagon for people to try out, available at http://loki3.com/flex/maze/hexa-puzzle.html. I've put this one on a bronze...
... Thanks for making these flexagon puzzles. They're a lot of fun. I've been able to figure out this picture one and the pyramid one, but the other two path...
It certainly seems like he would be interested in flexagon-style paper folding. The "one cut" theorem he talked about sounds intriguing. The basic idea is...
Oh right, 7, for the same reason there's only one 3-sided version. (With the straight strip you can use to make hexaflexagons of 3, 6, 9, 12... sides, you're...
Thanks for the feedback. One of my aims in making these puzzles has been to encourage people to experiment with flexagons they're not familiar with, so it...
This is another really cool flexagon puzzle. I particularly like the template and construction of the flexagon. For me, the templates and construction of...
I agree with Robin Moseley's comments on printers and papers. I find that origami duo paper looks effective on some flexagons. I use an inkjet printer, and...
Thanks for the complement! My experience with flexagons and many other pursuits is that one has to make all the mistakes in order to get to a new level. If...
I agree with checking out the art supply shops. Many of them carry a good selection of papers from around the world. Even without adding any printed or...
Here¢s a new puzzle on a silver octaflexagon - http://loki3.com/flex/maze/octa-paths.html. This flexagon folds into a square and has eight 45-45-90 triangles...
I've come across a new flex that works on the hexaflexagon. Unless someone has already given it a name, I'll call it the pyramid shuffle. I actually found it...
Recently I've been playing around with what I call "local flexes" which only affect a portion of a flexagon. I define a local flex as something that changes...
In his recent posting Scott Sherman considers the effects of local flexes, including pocket flexes. I have investigated the effects of pocket flexes on a...
Intriguing collection of flexagons. Now I'll probably have to try and make a few of those. Pocket flexes provide an interesting way to explore many flexagons....
This next maze can be found at http://loki3.com/flex/maze/ennea-maze.html. I find the flexagon I built it on quite interesting. Like a hexaflexagon, it's...
The group is now 83 members strong! Here's hoping we have as many new insights, discoveries, shared projects, and great postings as we did in 2007. Sincerely, ...
When I was first trying out the triangle pentaflexagon (5 triangles per face) all I could figure out to do with it was pocket flexes. But unlike the...
... per face) all I could figure out to do with it was pocket flexes. But unlike the hexaflexagon (and higher orders), you can't do multiple pocket flexes at...
The video is a Christian evangelism tool, but a good use of a flexagon. http://www.simplysharejesus.com/ Kathy Knapp, Peoria, Illinois, USA Do well your part...
