Then you take an open 2d ball, and you want to attach its boundary to the circle you've just drawn... but you have to do it in a way that you wrap the boundary all the way around the circle twice. Then you've got RP^2. In effect this is the same thing as taking a closed 2d ball, then taking the quotient identifying antipodal points of its boundary. | |
