To me it looks like a Möbius strip.

Like the one in the picture of the Octopus card in the section Art and technology

That's what I thought when I first saw it... a 3D figure with one side.

Wow, I'd never heard of that. Here's the image:

Somehow this shape annoys my brain.

I don't want to repost the pic... but what is this company for again?

There seems to be something wrong with the characters in the top left. They don't seem to be in the right order...

Try making one! Oy. I crocheted a mobius scarf for my mom for Christmas. They're great to have....but a bit of a pain to make, and tough on the old noggin to "figure out".

Basically, the mobius strip only has one edge and one side...which is why our brains often have trouble with it...after all, it clearly appears to be a two-sided strip with two edges.

Ther recycling symbol is probably the most recognizable mobius strip::
