Third Rule: For every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Many people think that math is merely a pencil to paper activity, but math in motion is around us all the time in many different ways! Here is a great video that shows you how:

The Snake consists of 24 isosceles triangular prisms, connected by spring bolts. The prisms can't be separated, but they can be twisted, allowing one to form the snake into many different shapes.
