In Note 2449 (M.G. 1954, p. 213), Dr. F. G. Maunsell gave an account of two interesting figures, the flexagon ( F ), and a modified “hexahexaflexagram” ( H ). I have been prompted to investigate this subject further, and find that there is really an infinite family of such figures, whose properties become more vivid when they are studied as a group rather than in isolation.
