 Hmm #17103 posted by nonentity on 2009/07/14 17:30:59 Also, I feel you may have been reading it 90 degrees wrong. You were clearly destined for a Nigel ;p

remapped to a linear stripe
Plane. A sphere with a single point removed is equivalent to a plane.
FYI, a topologist is someone who doesn't know the difference between a coffee cup and a donut. (If you laughed, it probably means you didn't get it.)

Groanage probably indicates the intended understanding of coffee cup and donut.
I Don't Get It At All #17107 posted by ijed on 2009/07/15 03:29:07 And don't want to read wikipedia just now.
RPG - map in the works?
If Not #17108 posted by ijed on 2009/07/15 03:35:47 It's all good.
Apart from now I need to know what's the difference between a donut and coffee cup - non-topologically speaking.
Gurange #17109 posted by madfox on 2009/07/15 03:48:02 man has discovered the surface of a sphere with the peel of an orange.
today I learned that the speed of a planet is inversely proportional to its distance to the sun
Also that squares of the orbital periods are proportional to the third powers of the distances.
Kepler loved oranges though he ended up with eggs.
<-- Evening Coffee Cup #17110 posted by R.P.G. on 2009/07/15 03:58:46
Non-topologically, the difference between a coffee cup and a donut is that one is used for drinking illicit beverages in the morning while recovering from your indulgence of illicit beverages the night before, and the other is a donut.
Topologically speaking, they both have the same number of holes.
(See? The technical definition is much simpler.)
Also, talk to metlslime about the map.
#17111 posted by metlslime on 2009/07/15 05:28:37 Yeah, but a donut hole has no holes, how do you explain THAT????!?!?!
#17112 posted by mwh on 2009/07/15 08:45:31 But is there a conformal map from the donut to the coffee cup?
Technically #17113 posted by - on 2009/07/15 10:35:21 a cup doesn't have a hole... unless it's become unfit for containing liquid.
Technically #17114 posted by metlslime on 2009/07/15 10:48:25 a sock with no holes is worse than a sock with two holes.
#17115 posted by Trinca on 2009/07/15 10:51:03 true, the feats need to breath
Technically #17116 posted by nonentity on 2009/07/15 13:06:42 I wish I'd never started this

#17118 posted by Zwiffle on 2009/07/15 15:37:23 Are we talking about holes and why was czg not involved?
Ceezeegee <3 #17119 posted by Spirit on 2009/07/15 15:47:30 Because, like scampie hinted at, unless they became unfit for containing sausage, he has none.
#17120 posted by pjw on 2009/07/15 20:06:22 a sock with no holes is worse than a sock with two holes.
...how does sock feel about that? Sock, rebuttal?
Two Holes.. #17121 posted by JPL on 2009/07/15 22:22:27 ... is better than no holes.. At least there's a place for a friend ;)

Guess I haven't been in here for a while...
<- Wooly #17124 posted by generic on 2009/07/16 04:43:38 How does one put on a sock with no holes?
Well #17125 posted by Zwiffle on 2009/07/16 04:54:15 czg linked an interesting video about how to turn a sphere inside out without cutting a hole in the fabric, so I imagine something like the way they did that.
Of course, they DID use imaginary material that was allowed to move through itself.
Simple #17126 posted by ijed on 2009/07/16 05:38:06 Make sure the spiky ball is floating through it when you jump in the teleport.
