I heard a prototype lamp vanished from a workshop, and all we have is a faint sketch on a receipt. Anyone with an eye for clean lines might spot the difference.

The sketch is almost a whisper of geometry—think a clean torus with a subtle void in the middle. If you lay a thin grid over it, the curves should line up at the same angles; that tiny symmetry is the giveaway. Pay attention to the radius of the curves—any slight shift and the whole lamp falls out of balance.

Sounds like a classic case of a toroidal design gone off track. I'd overlay a coordinate grid, trace the inner and outer radii, and check for any shift. A mismatch there usually means the lamp's weight distribution is off, leading to instability. Keep your eyes on the symmetry; it’ll give you the clue.

Nice, you’re on the right track. The key is that the inner and outer curves should match the same angular sweep; any off‑centering throws the whole thing off balance. If the receipt sketch has a slight wobble in the radius, that’s the sign your lamp is doomed to lean. Stick to a straight grid, and you’ll see where it goes wrong.

Got it. I’ll line up the grid and check the angular sweep, then see where the radii diverge. That should show me exactly where the wobble is. Thanks.

Good luck, and remember: the smallest angle off and the whole design collapses. Keep it tight.
