Now that's cool. Love the way they wrap around the large torus. I counted 13.

I'd vote for 25 if you count the big one in the middle

Whoops, it does look like 25..... Didn't count the ones going the other
way...

i am sure there is a term for multiple torii, like a clutter, or stash of
torii

34 btw

Hmm, I count 4-fold rotational symmetry, with each instance having three in
eah direction. Plus the big one (Ken thinks he's so smart now ;) ) is 25.

First: Thank you all for commenting.
And I'm glad some of you like the image.

There are 25 torii shapes in the code. (24 small and 1 big)

(but it could be argued that a 26th torus is formed by
the 24 small torii. =)

I must admit that for a while I had trouble verifying for myself the
number of torii in this image.

And if I tried to follow a small torus (not a "middle" one) around the
big torus, my eyes sometimes tried to convince me that it made an
extra loop before coming back to itself.
