An engineering Marvel !

Each piece of the Ball of Whacks is a “golden ratio” rhombic pyramid, one of nature’s most appealing shapes. Held in place by 180 rare earth magnets,
these pyramids fit together to form a perfect 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron,
considered to be a masterpiece of mathematics.

What’s A “Whack”?
The inventor of the Ball of Whacks, Roger von Oech, uses the term “WHACK” to connote something that stimulates us to think differently—to break us out of
our habitual thought patterns, so we can solve problems in a fresh new way.
