Suppose that you have a long strip of paper, and draw the central line through it. You then glue it together so as to make a Möbius band. Can the drawn curve be contained in a plane?

We'll answer the question in this talk, as well as introduce the concepts from the Geometry of Surfaces course required to go through it; including Gauss' one and only Theorema Egregium! (we won't prove it though).
