Extract
Many problems in topology are easy to state, but some are extremely difficult to solve. And even if they are easy, they may have surprising solutions. For example, take a tyre inner tube, that is, a toroidal surface with a hole (for the valve!). Can one turn it inside out? The answer is ‘yes’ but if one actually carries out this procedure the result is entirely unexpected.
