In response to a comment from a previous article about the loom-band craze, I investigated the matter in much more detail and with the objective of creating optimally dithered wristbands. After overcoming several difficulties, such as making anything in an adult size, I definitely believe this craze is wholesome and teaches useful skills to kids.

Most specifically, for a craft that requires all loops to be interlinked, a cursory understanding of directed graphs is essential. Indeed, I find it worrying that there are some five year olds who understand directed graphs more intuitively than some computer scientists.

    Oh, I thought this was a paper on astrophysics or something.
