Hans!
Great use of materials to bring out the detail you were looking for!
So, how many ways can you spin a spider web? LOL

FliTrap,
So, how many ways can you spin a spider web?
Remember the fable of the beggar who did a big favor to the emperor, and was offered a reward.
Knowing how keen the emperor was on the game of chess, and spotting a chessboard nearby he modestly asked for some rice. One grain on the first square, two on the second square. Then doubling the grains of rice with each subsequent square.
Something like this can be done 'spinning' spiders - the final number is, eh, well... not quite as modest as the emperor first thought
Cheers,
Hans W
