The Ball of Whacks

Ball Of WhacksThe Ball of Whacks is made up of 30 magnetic ‘golden ratio’ rhombic pyramids– they can be taken apart and rearranged in endless ways. It’s billed as a ‘creative tool for innovators’ and a ‘creativity workshop in a ball’. It also comes with a 96-page illustrated book that provides exercises for brainstorming and problem solving. When put together it forms a perfect a (the crowd goes wild) 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron, which inventor Roger von Oech calls one of gemoetry’s most beautiful shapes. Still not convinced, take a peak at the video— how fun!
