Question:

Construct a Möbius strip (see Problem 54). Cut the strip in half down the center. Describe the result.

Data from Problem 54

About a century ago, August Möbius made the discovery that, if you take a strip of paper (see Figure 9.19), give it a single half-twist, and paste the ends together, you will have a piece of paper with only one side! Construct a Möbius strip, and verify that it has only one side. How many edges does it have?
