On: Which Emoji Scissors Close?

This analysis assumes only 2 dimensions! I think the handles should be able to overlap somewhat. Some handles in real life do!

"Critique" aside, I adore this site!

It's very unusual to find scissors in real life where the handles overlap, so I think it makes sense to assume they don't.

Read the last few oddballs, they are indeed expected to overlap.

I just did now! And came back to comment how I had not read to the end! :)

When the handles can overlap, it tends to cause unwanted torque.
