[math-fun] Fractals are now recondite?
Funster Gary Antonick (NYT NumberPlay) fears that the Franceflake fractal boundary paradox might be too hairy for his readers, even though Martin Gardner explained it in his original Flowsnake piece. So I made an mgif ( gosper.org/flake.gif) illustrating the problem, and offering a URL for an (indirect) explanation. --rwg
That's great! May I suggest that when the area is smallest, you should give those three regions the labels 1, 2, and 3? On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 2:41 AM, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:
