Mathematicians are put in the cells of the Hyperbolic Soccerball tessellation. The placement algorithm tries to minimize the average length of all follower edges.
Note the rather confusing effect where it appears that we have made the full circle at half the video. Actually the video makes one full circle, but since this is hyperbolic geometry and the circle has radius acosh(2), we need to turn 720 degrees to get back to the starting point.
