THE FLOATING HAT
This example of the mathematical principle of concealed distribution has a mysterious touch.
Trace a line down the center of a strip of paper as shown in the illustration.
Draw six heads, each wearing a funny hat.
Make sure you draw each head according to the illustration—that is, draw the first head completely above the center line, cutting off the chin slightly.
Draw the second head so that the line is right below the mustache, draw the third head so that the line divides the nose, and so on
Cut along the line you traced.
Slide the upper strip to the right along the lower strip until the heads recombine to form new heads.
