A sphere made out of cubes has many visible circles on it. Why are they there, and what determines where on the sphere they appear? Thanks to Ravi Vakil (and his son Benjamin) for noticing the circles and asking the question, and to CodeParade (http://codeparade.net) for the photos of the Legoland globe.
