The surface in above image is a portion of the graph of
some mathematical equation.

Let's do some brainstorming:
Can you guess what's inside the surface?

Hint

Consider the intersection of a horizontal plane with the surface.

The intersection consists of a family of funny curves.
(An example curve is shown below. It has nothing to do with the answer.)

Cut off the upper surface above the horizontal plane to get a funny 3D image.

(This curve is obtained from another surface.)

It's like the Rorshach-test. What it looks like to you, says something about how neurotic you are :biggrin:

To me, it looks like two faces: 1 happy and 1 unhappy. Don't know what that says about me...
 
i can see 2 turtles and a handful of meaningless curves
or maybe its just nothing...
 
One happily surprised face, one disgusted, and one evil.
 
Its two owls and the one on the left is wearing a pirate hat.

looking at it upside down, I was thinking that it was two boxers or weightlifters or people with huge ball shaped hands.

Those animations are pretty cool. One type of facial expression evolving into another (or two others).

Thanks benice!
