- Is your love compatible? Do the forces of topology and mathematics smile upon your pairing? Find out with this classic mobius strip love test.
I learned this from Mike Caputo in around 2010, and as far as I know he originated this trick, or was an early popularizer of it, in his 1990 article in the Jan/Feb edition of The Oregon Mathematics Teacher (and if anyone can find this article maybe it will give more insight). I blogged about it in Feb 2011 after teaching it in a workshop when I was Mathemusician in Residence at Harvard's Pforzheimer House (anyone here from those days? Hello!), but unfortunately all the links in that post are now dead (as is the blog itself) and my memory is fuzzy. So if you have info to share please send me a note!
But just to keep as much of the history and attribution as I can, here's the dead links I have for Mike: teach.beaverton.k12.or.us/~mik... and for the article: www.octm.org/TOMT.html
I've seen a number of great videos on this in the past ten years, but none that capture quite the spirit and framing of the original love test in the way I remember it. Or maybe this is never how it originally was and I made it all up. No idea, but I had fun making this and I hope you had fun watching it :D
And an extra special Valentine's Day thanks to my Patreon patrons, whose support make this possible. Thank you Ray Sidney, Pat Devlin, David Perryman, Andew Romaner, Andrea Bi Biagio, Jodi Vezzetti, Yana Chernobilsky, David Smith, Alan Boulton, Nancy Blachman, and Caleb Wright, for your extra support!

ViHart! Treat. Always interesting, smart, and pleasant to watch.

I would love to see more posts and can’t wait for PI day :). You and 3B1B ultimately lead me to pursue a mathematics and computer science major, and want to do research and explore all of the cool stuff you guys show off in your videos as a living!
God tommyinnit is everywhere lol
@@maxwell4778 not even real one
Wow. Thats rly cool!
Tadashi Tokieda made a video a few years ago on Numberphile about cutting loops of paper glued together at the right angle! You can look up those videos or just think about what would happen if you cut a loop and a möbius loop stuck together
I love Tadashi Tokieda! He also had a nice tip, its easier to first tape the paper strips into a cross shape, then twist and tape them into Möbius strips :D
Unexpected Shapes (Part 1) - Numberphile
I remember that one, it was a really cool video!
I thought I was scrolling through my recommendations and found a video from 5 years ago but no this was in subscriptions and was posted 10 minutes ago! Love to see you back!
Vihart is back? A very welcome change. We love you ❤️
the occasional vihart upload is like remembering the game every so often
DAMMIT
But MUCH more enjoyable!
NOOOOOOO!!!
I just won The Game.
God damnit
Watching your videos is like going to a cool after-school course you're always looking forward to, or having classes with that one teacher that always manages to make things interesting
An upload from Vihart, the best Valentine's gift! I've been watching you since I was a kid and every upload is a nice surprise! 💜
Vihart videos are so timeless, so wonderful
I know right?! I love their Pi Day vids, and I like some of their other content too! It's just so refreshing to hear their voice!
Seems like just yesterday I was watching all your hexaflexagon videos. I'm glad you still seem to enjoy video making, even if it's not as often
OMG YOU ARE BACK I MISSED YOU!! 💕💕
It's a good day to be alive when Vihart uploads
She’s back!
Vihart!
Edit: Love you too! (not in a weird way)
No WAY you posted!! I'm so glad to see a new video from one of my all time favorite channels!
ITS BEEN SO LONGGG I MISS UUUUUU
Wow!! I have been watching this channel since 2016 when I was like 10 years old or something and it always makes my day when you upload, and I can hear you're genuinely excited for the pi day video!!
12 threads was amazing, too, it really had an emotional impact on me in the way that it told a whole personal story and the ending was amazing!! I actually downloaded it as an mp4 to listen to on the bus, but something was off with the data of it so if i paused, it would go back to the beginning. So for a while I could recite the first 10 minutes by heart!
This made my day! Thanks for taking the time to say hi to us (and sharing yet another cool mathy thing)
I randomly stumbled across one of your videos and ever since then I've been binge watching them. seeing a new one is awesome because it lets me know you're going to be making more amazing content!
Just saw your screen name and thought it was cool.
@@JayBandersnatch thank you!
Its like coming back to your hometown in the warm little cottage to see Vi still posting
I've used this method to trick a girl into making these intertwined hearts and although I moved her to tears she refused to be my valentine. It fine tho cause that is a beautiful memory of making someone smile.
Did you have her start, and then choose your twist direction based on hers?
ive never understood ur vids but theyre still so entertaining and addictive

Yay. A new Vihart video. Best 2 days before Valentine's Day EVER!
I love this! Note that this also demonstrates why a one-sided relationship has to evolve if it's to work. :)
Hi Vihart. Your videos always make me happy.
So happy to see a new video from vihart ☺️ I've been making hexaflexagons with my pre-k class and they love them!
She is back!!
what a legend, she's been making videos for 10 years
I loved Tadashi Tokieda's Numberphile video about this! He also had a nice tip, its easier to first tape the paper strips into a cross shape, then twist and tape them into Möbius strips :D
When Vihart uploads a new video you know it’s a good day. Can’t wait for pi day!
It's been so long! Thanks for posting again.
I felt grateful when I saw this video was posted 4 hours ago.
I've been watching your videos ever since I was little, and you're one of the main reasons I'm the "weird kid who likes fractals and mobius strips and stuff." and I like it!! math is just so cool to me, and I'd like to thank you for it. I also wanna say hi so hi :]]
I saw this covered in a talk by matt parker in the RI hall, he explains how it works. and to give vague instructions when giving it as an activity to students to see the mixed reactions.
*mixed results
It always makes my day when I see that you posted a video! I love them, and they always make me smile! I hope you're doing well!
Missed ya and your enthusiasm for math! Appreciate all that you've shown us these years and hope to see ya shine Vi❤!
I'm so glad you're still doping Pi Day after so many years, it makes March special. :)
She's back! Welcome back! This is the best thing to happen to CZcams in yearsss

I am excited to see you have new videos!!! I cant tell you how often i tell people to look up your videos!!! I go to a very math heavy campus, so there are so many math nerds. We all love your content!!! I am greatful uou have renewed your presence on this platform and i look forward to the cool new videos i get to share with people! See you on pie day!!!
Ive been watching for 8 years! I always love seeing your new videos :)

Omg I missed your vids!! I'm so glad to see you post, I never was actually here to see you post till now. I stumbled upon your channel a few years ago and I watched every video, they've actually been a huge comfort for me! So glad to see you post, can't wait for pi day!!!

I just checked up on this channel after years and this classic channel uploaded 1 day ago their channel is so cool love u V-hart❤️
Ok ok so your literally so smart like bestie be my math teacher. I’ve learned sm from you more than school. The fact you make math fun, I’m out of words, it’s just. How. Very interesting.
Oh yay! Vihart returns with more fun video stuffs! My immediate reaction was "Oh! Yay! Vihart put out a video!" +Clicks instantly+
Omg you’re back! Ahhh I’ve been subscribed to your channel for like eons and I always love your videos!

im plesently suprised by the fact this channel ha been running for over a decade
Great to have you back!
Really glad to see you upload again. Now I'm excited for pi day next month!
Thanks for your videos Vi!
Just came back to this channel after years and after rewatching all the hexaflexagon videos I just realized that there was merch. Here I am begging for Vihart to release hexaflexagon merch again!
Vihart back at it once again.
You're a literal icon.
love these short (or lengthier) videos, always enjoy these, keep em up and cant wait for the pi day one :)
;(, it hits hard to think you probably went back to her older videos and realized 8,9,10 years ago felt like yesterday.
i just finished watching your "how to eat candy buttons like a recreational mathematician" because it got recommended to me a minute ago and then i realized that video was mad 11 years ago and i was just sad that i just got that recommended
I was shocked to see that you still make these fun educational videos! I used to watch you all the time a lot of years ago and I don't remember why I stopped watching but it seems you made a lota videos while I was gone so I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Happy Valentine's, Vihart!!! appreciated that you wanted to say hi, will anticipate your Pi Day video!! 😄💖💖
Vihart posted, it’s a miracle
I’ve been waiting so long
I'm glad u still upload
I missed this notif but I’m so happy you’re back! Can’t wait for the pi day video!
glad to see you posting videos more often! always look forward to the pi day vids :)
thank goodness you're back!
Thank you for making your videos I’ve just seen on my recommended now I’ve watched the whole 9:99 series
I'm way out of your intended age group but glad you're still making content
Wow, i just came to this video after finding the dots video, you’ve not changed yet at the same time changed, it’s very confusing but great to see how your passions are still right where they are.
This has been a very good past 5 minutes for CZcams
Long time no see! Btw you really inspire me with all your fun videos on math 😁
Awe! We love you too Vi!
AAA THE ANNUAL PI VIDEO THAT ALWAYS MAKES MY YEAR IS COMING WOO
VIHART HAS POSTED! I REPEAT, VIHART HAS POSTED!
thank you, i feel mathematically loved despite the flaws in my topology 💜🖤💜🖤
I just found your 11 year old videos and I checked the date and was like daaamn and then I saw you're still making videos and i was like DAAAMN
I’m so happy she is back :) I love her channel because she is so creative xoxo to everyone
Omg I'm so happy you posted!! I love your vids!
“Be there or be…not…a circle? Okay, love you, bye!” Brilliant. 😆
New vihart video! Awesome! Thank you :)
thank god her channel is still alive
Hi vihart, I love the Scutoids video you made, I show it to people when I want to demonstrate what's a good and innovative way do edutainment or content with 360º video.
OMG I was just thinking about your Möbius strip video the other day!! I was 10 years old and it fascinated me and still does :)
I’ve been binging your videos on my echo show, and came across this today only 3 hours after it was posted!
Omg the legend has made another video
This is the channel i never knew i needed
I just recently watched a six year old video about fourth dimension that had this trick explained. Interesting.
That sounds interesting! The name of the video?
@@sv2253 czcams.com/video/1wAaI_6b9JE/video.html that’s it, I’m pretty sure
omg Mr. Caputo was my highschool geometry teacher in 2016-17! He's not listed on the school website anymore, but his class was one of my favorites!
Always loved ur videos been watching since the beginning. Much love.
This made me so happy. Love these videos
FINALLY ANOTHER VIDEO FROM YOU!!!
OH MY GOD, SHE STILL MAKES CONTENT. THIS IS AMAZING.
The return of the queen.
