Description
Two rectangular sheets that filter light according to polarization- with a twist. Rotating the two sheets ninety degrees with respect to each other results in all light blocked as expected, but flipping over a sheet also gives a similar result. Does this imply new physics? Reconciling this unexpected behavior is the problem left to the reader.
