Ever felt like the moment you throw your sticks in a bag, they instantly form a horrific knotted mess? Heaven forbid you throw 2 sets of sticks in together. Now there’s proof. Not only that, but the probability of a knot forming peaks at about 2m in string length – not that far off many diabolo strings. Interesting paper – it even won the lg (read:parody) Nobel Prize in 2008. [via DaringFireball]
