Nauru string figures

The string figures of Nauru are among the most complex patterns produced on string in the world. The island nation of Nauru is the home of an anthropologically fascinating ethnic group whose customs are very similar to those on Polynesian islands.

Some of those Nauru string figures are really beautiful! I have a book that shows how to make them, but they're so tricky, I think I'll have to learn from a a pro like ISFA's Joe D'Antoni!

Trump Figures

Overvalued or inflated numbers or percents issued by an unscrupulous or corrupt businessperson, so that their rogue or shady businesses could secure better loan terms and insurance deals, and would pay lesser tax.

Mr. Pinocchio could be fined up to $250m and be banned from doing business in his home state should he be found guilty of submitting an obscene number of trump figures related to his bigly valued properties.
