The Ball of Whacks, designed by Roger von Oech, 2005, consists of 30 magnetic design blocks that can be re-arranged in endless ways, including the formation of a 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron, one of geometry's many beautiful shapes. It is more versatile, fun, and challenging than a puzzle. It is stimulating and creative; there is no wrong way to play. The Ball of Whacks comes with a 96-page illustrated book, providing exercises for creative brainstorming and problem solving. The Ball of Whacks is a creative stimulant and a perfect tool for innovators, artists, engineers, writers, and students. Due to the size of the pieces and the magnets, it is not suitable for children under 8 or people with pacemakers.
