http://learningnerd.com/math-day-13/ I can't remember the last time I tried to solve any kind of puzzle. Why'd I ever stop?! Puzzles are so fun! So here's proof that I did solve the Borromean hairpins puzzle! Today was another busy day, so aside from doing more arithmetic practice, I quickly spliced together some new footage with clips from my interview with mathematician Henry Segerman and my first time using a 3D printer.
