Hello Theodor,

That's quite a story, from misunderstood child to taking on some of the big=
gest world problems! It's a shame that kids are often punished for being di=
fferent, and tragic that your creations were destroyed. I was fooling aroun=
d with 4D geometry in around 7th grade but my father was a mathematician so=
people mostly left me alone with these sorts of things. Your surviving ima=
ge didn't attach properly, but that's not surprising with Yahoo groups. Ple=
ase upload it somewhere permanent and send us the link.

Best of luck with all your projects!

Hello Theodor,



That's quite a story, from misunderstood child to taking on some of
the biggest world problems! It's a shame that kids are often
punished for being different, and tragic that your creations were
destroyed. I was fooling around with 4D geometry in around 7th grade
but my father was a mathematician so people mostly left me alone
with these sorts of things. Your surviving image didn't attach
properly, but that's not surprising with Yahoo groups. Please upload
it somewhere permanent and send us the link.



Best of luck with all your projects!
