I learned everything I know about #Strands from my grandpa in a rowboat on Cisco Lake in northern Wisconsin.

If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to play #Strands. You’re gonna meet some gentle people there.

The CN matrix of a pure braid projection
The CN matrix of an $n$-braid projection $B$ is an $n \times n$ matrix such that each $(i,j)$ entry indicates the number of crossings between $i^{th}$ and $j^{th}$ strands of $B$. In this paper, patterns of an $n \times n$ matrix to be a CN matrix are discussed and the CN matrix of a pure 6-braid projection is characterized. As an application, the OU matrix of a pure 6-braid diagram and the crossing matrix of a positive pure 6-braid are also characterized.

I’m not sure it’s in international style, but I do admire those who get the art and craft of #Strands wright.

It’s got to happen, happen sometime. Maybe this time I’ll win #Strands.

Characterization of NbTi wires for the electron-ion collider project
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a proposed machine to explore the behaviour of the fundamental particles and forces that bind atomic nuclei together. The design and construction of the EIC are underway at Brookhaven National Laboratory in collaboration with Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. EIC will use several different types of superconducting strands for magnets near the interaction region (IR). At beam injection, the magnetic field is usually very low compared with its maxi…

In the matter of today’s #Strands puzzle, I’ll allow it.

Today’s #Strands puzzle takes kind of a novel approach — I’m not sure I’ve seen it use this particular construction style before.

Today’s #Strands puzzle suggests the bar for “fancy” flies exceedingly low to the ground.
