Question

求大神翻译啊

The handles of six binder clips weave together in a way that holds all clips open. This "explosive" configuration is quite stable despite its high potential energy. I will leave the construction method as an entertaining puzzle. Here's a hint: you should need to strain your hands no more than when normally opening a binder clip.The 24 symmetries are the same as those of a volleyball, namely, the Pyritohedral group.Update: by request, here are a few more assembly tips:Hint 0: The silver clip bodies can (and must!) be removed from the black clip bodies.Hint 1: Prop each of the clips open with, say, another clip. This removes much of the "stress" from the assembly process and avoids finger damage/pain.Hint 2: Build the entire thing first with "backwards" clip bodies, i.e., with the bodies closed and facing outward instead of open and facing inward. Afterward, use the previous hint to replace the bodies in the correct orientation. This postpones all tension concerns until the very end, after the handles have been fully woven.Hint 3: Each of the 12 handles weaves around precisely 4 other handles. As in the previous hint, attach handles to "backwards" clip bodies as you weave them so the handles don't fall out.

Answer 1

这是数学家Zachary Abel用6个长尾夹筑构模型

六个长尾夹的把手“织结”在一起，以致所有的长尾夹连成一体。尽管这种“爆炸性”的配置的高势能结构，它是相当扎实稳固的。我会把“织结”的方法保留为有趣的谜团。这里有一个提示：您的手不用比打开一个长尾夹更费劲。

那24对称轴与一个排球相同，即称作"四面体小组”。

更新：按要求，这里有几个编结的技巧提示：

提示0：银夹体可以（而且必须！）从黑色夹子部份拆出。

提示1：把每个长尾夹的口都撑开，比方说，用另一个长尾夹。这能消除了很多从装配过程产生的“压力”，并避免夹伤手指/疼痛。

提示2：这组件的筑构“倒转”来装的，即夹身闭起，向外，而不是开口的。随后，如之前的提示，循正确的方向重置夹身。这能把压迫力推延到最末，在所有把手都已“织结”在一起。

提示3：12个把手织恰恰“织结”在4个把手之上。正如前面提示，一边“织结”，一边把手柄“倒转”装回夹身，这样把手就不会掉下来。
