Mobius Bagel

Someone showed me a web page demonstrating how to cut a bagel in such a way that the two halves are linked together. I had to try it for myself. The surface of the cut area is in the shape of a Mobius strip.

Very cool... in a nerdy sort of way. :-)

There's a way to cut a piece of paper the same way, isn't there?

Yes, there are tricks you can do with a paper mobius strip that have similar effects.

But I was mistaken -- the slice is actually not a mobius strip. It has a double twist instead of a single twist.
