It has been so long since I have been a part of the povray community 
that I don't even know if they still do Friday abstracts here.  I 
finished this on Friday morning, but then I fell asleep, and didn't get 
around to posting it.

This has been in my head for I guess at least 6 months, and I finally 
took the time to work it out because as I reasoned it would take me less 
time to actually make it than I spent thinking about it.  It is very 
similar to a puzzle on this website that I found a while ago.  [1]

I found that I have forgotten a lot about how to make things look good 
in POV so I couldn't get it to look how I want, but I at least figured 
out the geometry.  Small changes in magic numbers seems to have dramatic 
results.  If anyone wants the code I will post it.  I posted the actual 
png render on my website.  [2]
