What shape can roll well, other than a circle (wheel)? Two circles, attached together according to a formula involving a square root of two! Simon made these “wobbly circles” inspired by a Numberphile video where Matt Parker talks about how the ability to roll well (as in a wheel) is caused by the constant height of the center of mass (as opposed to a square wheel, whose center of mass goes zigzagging up and down). Wobbly wheels also have a stable height of their center of mass, hence they roll!
Simon also made a transparent version (with mom’s help):
