When Math Too Yarn Collide

My in-laws are currently inward America, in addition to therefore Shaun in addition to I accept been taking them to produce diverse tourist-y things.  Last Saturday, nosotros made a destination at Philbrook inward Tulsa.  My favorite display was a site specific fine art installation created past times HOTTEA.  

It's simply strands of yarn (in 83 dissimilar colors!), but it's in addition to therefore much to a greater extent than than that at the same time.    

Shaun in addition to I were both captivated past times the display, in addition to our conversation before long turned to how much math must accept been required to set something similar this together.

We weren't the entirely people mesmerized past times this fine art display.  People were snapping photograph afterwards photograph of the fine art display from dissimilar angles!

The museum had a idiot box laid that showed a fourth dimension lapse video of the display beingness hung.  I stopped in addition to watched the video.  Then, I watched the entire video AGAIN because it was in addition to therefore cool!  Here's a link to the fourth dimension lapse video.  It's entirely a infinitesimal in addition to a one-half long, in addition to I believe it's fourth dimension good spent!

So, what math questions could you lot inquire close this display?

And, to a greater extent than importantly, who wants to help me construct something similar inward my classroom for adjacent year?  #onlyhalfkidding
