Mathematically incorrect footballs: This episode of Bing gets the panel shapes correct but falls at the final hurdle. Instead of colouring the 12 pentagons black, they colour 2 of the pentagons and 6 of the hexagons.

@OscarCunningham Have you seen Matt Parker's campaign to get the same error reversed in the official UK traffic sign for a football stadium? (We have white on brown road signs for places of tourist and other interest.)

@dearlove Yes, of course the animators here couldn't make quite the same error, because their 3d models actually have to be geometrically possible.

@OscarCunningham Presumably that makes it mathematically correct but aesthetically incorrect?

Also even if it WAS all hexagons, how do you know the spacetime metric those bunny creatures inhabit?

@OscarCunningham A non-mathematician colleague saw this and said, "But it's quite OK for the animals to play soccer on two legs, presumably?" 😉
