Flexagons Recreations MathFlexagonsA flexagon is a hexagon, which you can make from a strip of triangles. The objective is to open the flexagon in the middle and have a previously hidden face appear. The members of this group-- Richard P. Feynman, Bryant Tuckerman, John W. Tukey, and Arthur H. Stone, had laid the groundwork for all consequent study, through developing their yet unpublished theory, by the early 1940's. When the group disbanded, the flexagon was left, nearly forgotten, for ten years. Then, toward the beginning of the fifties, it received slight publicity with several very brief articles in mathematics magazines.
