All right. It is time to go wild and crazy.

Here is a whole host of quirky and strange machines to ponder on, some yielding baffling mathematical questions still unresolved to this day! We’re now well-and-truly in the territory of original thinking and new exploration. Any patterns you observe and explain could indeed be new to the world.

So go wild. Play with the different ideas presented in this experience. Make your own extensions and variations.

Most of all, have fun!
