Product Description
The modest cube... At first glance, the cube might seem like the most basic 3D structure in the universe. After all, it was probably one of the very first shapes you were introduced to as a baby. But... As it turns out, there happens to be a LOT of mathematical possibilities hidden within those six unassuming surfaces. Meet the Zometool Cryptocube. Think of it as your personal atom smasher - You'll use it to smash apart the cube and discover an infinity of stunning patterns, geometric possibilities, and mathematical conundrums. Your mind may never be the same again! You start by building an all-black cube. Then - This is the moment where the universe splits into infinite dimensions - Use all the other included, colorful Zometool struts and nodes to build any kind of structure you can imagine within and without the cube. The only rule: Once the black struts of the original cube are removed, the eight black nodes which made up the cube's corners must be able to stay exactly where they were when you began. Countless solutions are possible. Some simple, some mind-bogglingly complex. Do you have what it takes to navigate the mathematical abyss that is the Cryptocube? Zometool - The Cryptocube Large set of struts and nodes for exploring the geometric possibilities hidden within a cube Encourages visual-spatial skills, logic, an interest in math and geometry Uncover the infinite secretes hidden within one of the most basic 3D shapes in the universe! Start by building a cube with the 8 black struts and 8 black nodes Use the rest of the colorful struts and nodes to build structures inside and around the cube so that the corners of the original cube stay exactly where they were after the original black struts are removed Zometool is a fasicinating construction set treasured by kids and Nobel Prize winners Includes 118 nodes, 60 blue struts, 12 black struts, 60 yellow struts, 60 medium yellow struts, 60 red struts Instructions, tips, and challenges can be found online
