@divbyzero@mathstodon.xyz Oh, I thought they would stay interlocked. Was it @nanma80@mathstodon.xyz who made something like this, perhaps with rubber bands that hold the pencils together?

@liuyao@mathstodon.xyz @divbyzero@mathstodon.xyz I was replying to Dave yesterday on Facebook as well. I don’t think the pencils will stay interlocked just by themselves. We need to use rubber bands or some structures to hold them together. Although we can stack pencils like Jenga to build a tower, it’s less symmetrical as the construction here.
