Yoshimoto Cube Blows My Mind then Fries My Brain [video]
- redorb 18y agothis would've made a great Christmas gift; now I got to get one- so awesome - anyone know how long this has been around
- m0nty 18y agoAbout 20 years? I remember these from way back. They are less mystifying when you see them up close, but still fun to mess with.
- Allocator2008 18y agoPerhaps the sunken city of R'yleh sports these sorts of cubes.
- ars 18y agoUm, what's the big deal? Am I missing something? I looks cool I guess, but why would it fry anyones brain?

- jhayes 18y agoIn case anybody's interested in making one: http://www.instructables.com/id/Crazy-Star-Cube-!/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Crazy-Star-Cube-!/ Looks to be an hour long project tops, requiring just starched paper and sellotape.
- ComputerGuru 18y agoI'm sorry, what's so special about this? It's a series of half-rectangular prisms (basically non-equilateral 3-sided pyramids) sticking out of a surface, folding onto one another. 2 of these sheets == 2 star thingies. Unfold + press together == rectangular cubes. Big deal? I think not... Slow news day I guess, what with it being New Years Day and all.
