    Help I made one of the complex hexaflexagons by spiraling the paper around and making a hexaflexagon out of that but I think I taped it wrong because there were only three sides and as I flexed it it slowly devolved into not a hexaflexagon and the colors that I colored started appearing on the same sides as other colors and there were extra flaps constantly being made. As I flexed it more and more it became even more deformed to the point where I don't think it was even a hexaflexagon anymore, but I couldn't help it, I just kept on flexing and flexing until it all unraveled and was just a weird twisty circle that was just a shadow of the hexaflexagon it once was. I decided that this needed to stop so with all my might I ripped off the tape I put on it and it turned into a regular strip of paper with a million creases making a million equilateral triangles. I honestly saw my life flash before my eyes, how could something that was so twisted and corrupt turn back into a simple strip of paper? Those equilateral triangles all staring at me asking me why I destroyed it. I started crying, why, why did it do this to me? Why did I do this to it? I couldn't believe what I had done.

    I was completely blown away by this hexaflexagon video! This little origami piece was really inspiring to watch because of all the sides the paper could have by simply folding a little piece of paper. The complex patterns and the way they changed with each fold fascinated me. It's incredible to consider how something as basic as folding paper can result in such interesting and intricate geometric designs. Watching this video has sparked my curiosity to learn more about the mathematics behind hexaflexagons and perhaps even try making one myself. Overall, a captivating and educational watch!

      Get a thing piece of paper, around 7 cm. fold a 60 degree triangle and then fold it over to make a full triangle. Continue to fold it accordion style until you have 9 triangles. Cut off the excess tris. Go to the third tri and fold it left...... Hold up I can't explain this just watch a vid

    This video randomly came up for me many years ago. I'd always hated math but Vi got me curious. Weirdly, I understood this! Few years later, I was diagnosed with autism and dyscalculia. My world blossomed.
    Turns out, math teachers who insist students must "show their work" or fail, are the problem. They assume we cheat when we get it right. Vi explains so well the thought processes of real mathematicians! Seeing it literally unfold 3d in front of my eyes, it finally makes sense because that's how my head solves math problems. Flappy flaps and all 😅
    I am SO happy to hear some math teachers now show Vi Hart videos in class! 🎉❤ I raised my kid with Vi's videos, she couldn't show her work either but I fought for her correct answers to be weighed correctly.Hexaflexin' 4 life ❤

    I find this video very intriguing because the flexigation complexity relates to the mathematics of knots. The lattice of the design would keep showing more and more sides even when you didn't expect them to come up. A confusing part is why more than 3 sides that needed to be colored showed up after only the first time there were 3 sides. I've heard of origami and I would like to know more about the intricate balances in lattices that appear to want to come apart, but it's almost like a mysterious, mathematical, universal law of matter that keeps everything together. It's inspired me to keep trying in life, and even when some doors close, some doors will open anew. And doing the right thing will lead to positive results even if things look bleak.

    Wait, wait, wait... I just had a great idea we could use Hexaflexagons as like trading cards :O all you have to do is make a list of rare colours and what type of hexagon it is and then if it's a Rae colour you trade it with someone who has a good "card"
    Have any suggestions or different ideas?

Around 3 years ago, I remembered the channel slightly, but just could not figure it out. ever since then, I’ve wondered if I would ever find it again. until now, when a video about spongebob’s house design changing showed how YOU helped change it. I’m so happy I found this again, time to go watch candy button mobius strips and logarithms.

    This is by far one of the coolest shape/paper object that I have ever seen in my life. The way that it is able to turn and turn coming up with surprises every once and a while with a new white side, not only amuses me, but confuses me at the same time. One thing that I don't understand is that when you were doing the hexaflexagon with more than three colored sides, why were you getting the same three colors in a row multiple times and then out of the blue you will see another random white side? I would figure that all the different sides would come one after the other instead of repeating the same three and them having another white side come out of nowhere.
