Stoke's Theorem says that for a surface $S$ bounded by a perimeter $L$, any vector field $\mathbf{B}$ obeys:
<img src="./images/balloon_surface.png" align="right" style="width: 300px";/>
$$\int_S (\nabla \times \mathbf{B}) \cdot dA = \oint_L \mathbf{B} \cdot d\mathbf{l}$$
Does Stoke's Theorem apply for any surface $S$ bounded by a perimeter $L$, even this balloon-shaped surface $S$?
1. Yes
2. No
3. Sometimes
