You can join four isosceles right triangles along hinges (I use tape) to form a square, and then join four such square panels (again with tape) to form a long rectangle, and lastly join the first and last panels together with tape to form a closed band. If you color the two sides of the band with different colors, it's a fun puzzle to turn the band inside out, exchanging the colors. I learned about this in the 80s, and amused myself by learning how to do the moves behind my back. Does anyone know the name and/or provenance of this puzzle? Jim
