Steffen's Simplest Known Flexible Polyhedron

Klaus Steffen took the construction of flexible polyhedron one step further by constructing a symmetric flexible Connelly sphere with only 9 verticies. This surface can be constructed by folding the flat surface in fig. 10 to obtain the flexible polyhedra in fig. 9.
