Great Moments In Masochism: The Petaminx

There are those amongst the human race who have a special, perverse love for the demonic invention of sculptor and architect Erno Rubik. These people are dangerous and you should keep both yourself and your loved ones away from them. They inhabit a world quite alien to ours, a desolate Abadon of half turns, slices, and pattern recognition.

Still, as unstable as these fans of Hungary’s Finger may be there are, apparently, truly degenerate individuals over whom the heinous and obscene siren song of six sides holds no sway. No, for people like this there is the Petaminx, a blasphemous dodecahedron featuring 975 moving parts, designed by Andrew Cormier who released the plans for his monstrous abomination onto the internet.

Now, an aspiring metagrobologist has gone and constructed one, which you can see demonstrated above. The video seems to end just before the very fabric of space-time is torn asunder, laying bare the horror beneath. No doubt the unwitting acolyte did not survive.
