You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.

W13: I remember from my childhood math books that the answer is C, but I still have no idea how that works.

W13: C. A is the result from cutting it in half without the twist, and B is... I don't know but it's not getting cut in half properly.

W13: B! In addition to only having one 'side', a Mobius strip only has one edge--trace along it and see. Since we never cut that edge when we cut the Mobius strip down the middle, it must still be one continuous edge in the resulting shape. In other words, we can't wind up with two separate loops, despite having cut it in half. B is the only shape like that.
