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!

Hey Josh,

Thanks for listing the amazing “Ball of Whacks” in your blog! Much appreciated!

The Ball was a lot of fun to develop and create, and now I’m having a blast getting the word out about it. People are having fun using it to stimulate their creativity!

Thanks again for your help.
