Today while reading a Martin Gardner article, I read this paragraph—stating something that I did not know. Perform the 3D analogue of a Koch Snowflake construction but start with a tetrahedron. In the limit you end up with... a cube! Here are some screenshots from a 1/2

@SCFGallagher @LenniCoffey You will need to go through passport control, but it's usually fine. If you miss your flight klm will put you up and book your onward flight.

Is booking a flight with a 55 minute transfer at Amsterdam Schiphol asking for trouble? I feel like @LenniCoffey you'll know this. But has anyone else done this and been successful? The only other option seems to be going the day before and paying for a hotel✈️
