1+1+1+1+1+




Calculate the surface area of each ring.

If you dont feel inclined to do so, congratulations! You are on the same page as us. Much as we hated the "algebraic, aliquot, analytic, arithmetical, bilinear, binary, calculable, centesimal, commensurable, computable, concentric, conjugate, decadic, decimal, denary, differential, divisible, duodecimal, exponential, factorial, figurate, fingerfull, fluxional, fractional, geodesic, hundredth, icosian, imaginary, impossible, incommensurable, incommensurate, integral, irrational, logarithmic, logometric, millesimal, more or less, more than one, negative, not alone, numerable, numeral, numerical, oblique, octifid, plural, positive, prime, proportional, quadragesimal, quadratic, quadrille, quantitative, radical, rational, real, reciprocal, sesquilateral, sexagenary, sexagesimal, statistical, surd, tabular, tenth, three-dimensional, tithe, transfinite, truncated, twelfth, two-dimensional, upwards of, variable, vicenary, vigesimal (-snipped from dictionary.com-)" aspects of our tender years in school, we maintain a sense of awe/frustration/intrigue/annoyance towards Mathematics. This new series from Centimeter Design, is a zany play on geometry: avid attention to shape and form, surface treatment and contrasts, in generating our signature of sophisticating absurdity. If anything, it has been a satisfying attempt at translating the imaginings of maths into a physical structure, albeit a really handy one.


You dont even have to believe a word we tell you; just wear this chunk of charms and ask your pals to calculate its surface area.
