I know there is a mathematical shape (for an object of uniform density) which optimizes the equation of the energy wasted in uprighting the top and stored momentum and final tendency toward precession, so as to extend the time of rotation furthest. I don't have details though, so I am posting this here, in the hope that someone knows more. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick (spinning furiously :)
I just reverted the anon's edit because, although I cannot read a word of Hebrew, the edit did not make sense. The current article has:
- נס גרול היה שס (hebrew is read right to left)
Reading right to left I could recognise each of the letters 'starting' each word: נ (Nun), ג (Gimel), ה (Hey), ש (Shin).
The edit by User:82.80.10.108 changed the last (left-most) two characters to read:
נס גדול היה פה(hebrew is read right to left)
This could be correct for all I know, but now I cannot see the ש (Shin) character in the complete phrase.
If I'm wrong just revert it back. -Wikibob | Talk 15:41, 2004 Nov 25 (UTC)

- I think dreidel definitely should have its own article. I'm suprised that it never has. Dyfsunctional 19:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
