Finding an orientable surface with a given boundary

30 Views Asked by At

I'm going over the problems here, and I'm currently stuck on 6G-3. Intuitively, I try extend the curve $C$ to a short cylinder and try to pull it out where the two loops meet. However, I find this very hard to visualise. Is this a well known problem? If not, could I get some further advice on how to find this surface? Thanks!
