The Ball of Whacks consists of 30 magnetic design blocks that can be rearranged into many, many shapes. Each individual piece of the Ball of Whacks is a "golden ratio" rhombic pyramid. Held in place by 180 rare earth magnets, these design blocks fit together to form a perfect 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron. More versatile than a puzzle and lots more fun than a brain teaser.
