Art meets science - a fascinating site linking art, maths, physics, astronomy and.... the London Underground!

Cool. An artist called Simon Patterson has also done this with engineers, philosophers, footballers, comedians, saints, artists, etc. The work is called The Great Bear.

I have The Great Bear on my wall, it's cool, but it doesn't incorporate the Footballers (Jubilee) line extension. :)

Simple arithmatic is how it works. If you put the same sign on 9, 18, 27, etc. there is no guess work to it.
