[edit] The Kaleidoscope and Geometry

I am adding a paragraph on this topic that contains a link to my kaleidoscope puzzle web page. Those interested in philosophical/literary remarks on the kaleidoscope may scroll down on that page for a section containing such remarks. Cullinane 18:49, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Too technical!

I believe that this document is far too technical for the average user. Symmetry groups are not light reading. I realize that articles are supposed to be encyclopedic, and technical details certainly add to the completeness of an article, but the bombardment of mathematical details under "Definition" should be put under a separate heading, perhaps "Mathematics of kaleidoscopes." It seems that the article, in its current shape, would of little use to a non-specialist looking for information for a generic project, etc. (And I am saying this as an algebraist!)

[edit] blew what up?

I did not understand the comment about the German blowing a kaleidoscope up. Could it be clarified? --Adam Brink 09:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

It appears that the comment is vandalism, and should be deleted.--Cullinane 23:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

(1) Swargonwitsh is found by google only on the wikipedia page; (2) the editor who introduced the comment did not sign in and cannot be contacted to verify the information; (3) in the context of the page it makes no sense. > I will chop it out. If someone wants to replace it they can do so, and verify it in this discussion page. --Adam Brink 11:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
