Well, that’s it! We’ve finished a good lot of work on flexagons, We’ve learned about cyclic and non-cyclic flexagons, Seen quite a few flexes, ֿ and learned about the math behind them. Now it’s time to say goodbye. Thank you for being with me on this course. I hope you’ve not only learnt a lot, but you’ve had a lot of fun. I have - and I’ll be looking forward to continuing our discussions. I would like to encourage you to explore other sites and discover some more flexagons, and maybe you’ll even find something new that no-one has discovered yet. There is still so much more to learn about these special objects.
