Dimensions - Exploring Flatland

hint section

Question:

How would a Flatlander eat/digest food?

Hint:

Flatlanders' bodies would fall into two parts if they were cut by a digestive tract. Two dimensional fasteners which are analogous to magnets, zippers, buttons, or velcro might help your Flatlanders stay whole. The fastening techniques used for handles might also be useful. Try modeling a Flatlander's digestive tract out of paper.
