Two great creativity tools in one package with free gift wrapping. The X-Ball is a set of 30 X-shaped magnetic design pieces that can be arranged in variety of different ways. The inspiration for the X-Ball is the "skeletal" icosidodecahedron, an orb-like geometric figure long admired for its beauty (it is one of Leonardo da Vinci's favorites). Use the companion book to help you think of new designs and learn more.The Ball of Whacks is a patent pending "golden ratio" rhombic pyramid. The pyramid's base is a golden rhombus. That means the ratio of its long diagonal to its short diagonal is 1.618, otherwise known as the "golden ratio." The other important proportion of each block's shape is the height of the pyramid. The height of the pyramid as measured from the rhombus base centroid (the point at which the two base diagonals intersect) to its apex is approximately 1.309 times the length of the short diagonal in the rhombus base. Each building block has magnets embedded in its interior faces. This means that the pieces will stick together magnetically. The user can build various shapes and designs with the blocks. The set of building blocks can be used as a creativity tool, toy, puzzle, game, display device, and cognitive stimulant. More versatile than a puzzle, the pieces can be taken apart and rearranged in endless ways. Also included is a pocket sized book which will lead you through a variety of tips, strategies and exercises.
