edit
  • ... that the tennis ball theorem, on the behavior of smooth curves that bisect the surface area of a sphere, takes its name from the seam of a tennis ball, which forms a curve of this type? Source: [1]

  • The article is long and new enough. It's a well written and well sourced article without copyvios. The hook is interesting and technically long enough, however a shorter hook would be much more appealing. QPQ is done. So the only issue is to have another shorter hook.
