Volume | Articles containing proofs | Mathematical problems | Recreational mathematics
In geometry, the napkin-ring problem involves finding the volume of a "band" of specified height around a sphere, i.e. the part that remains after a hole in the shape of a circular cylinder is drilled through the center of the sphere. It is a counterintuitive fact that this volume does not depend on the original sphere's radius but only on the resulting band's height. The problem is so called because after removing a cylinder from the sphere, the remaining band resembles the shape of a napkin ring. (Wikipedia).
What is the Napkin Ring Paradox? (And How Does it Work?)
Paradoxes are seemingly absurd notions that by some means end up being truth. The napkin ring paradox is just that. It uses simple geometry to prove that a ring made from an orange, or any size sphere for that matter, and one made from the earth have the exact same internal volume. Prepare

This lecture gives an introductory overview of the Chow ring of a nonsingular variety. The idea is to define a ring structure related to subvarieties with the product corresponding to intersection. There are several complications that have to be solved, in particular how to define intersec

AMAZING Physics Trick with Ring That You Must See!
Ring catch chain trick The trick with this one is in how you drop the ring. If you let go of the ring with both fingers at the same time it would just drop to the floor. What you need to do is just release your thumb and keep your finger still. When you do this it causes the ring to fall
