Polyomino Power!!
Five squares connected at their edges is what forms a Pentomino. Guess what? There are only 12 different configurations you can make (we're not counting any that are just reflections or rotations of already present designs). And life gets even crazier when you pop them into 3D! But what do you do with Pentominoes? You use them to solve all sorts of mathematical puzzles! It's for your brain's benefit that we present unto you these Pentominoes 3D Puzzle Cubes.
Each set of Pentominoes 3D Puzzle Cubes comes with all 12 pieces and a guide booklet with over 50 different puzzles. You'll challenge your geometry skills, your critical thinking skills, your nunchuk skills - all of 'em. Hey, did you know that Arthur C. Clarke loved Pentominoes (they appeared in his novel Imperial Earth)? It's true - and if Sir Clarke would have had his way, David Bowman and HAL would have been playing with Pentominoes (instead of chess) in the movie 2001! So not only are Pentominoes 3D Puzzle Cubes important to math and brain function, but they have a deep connection to sci-fi. Double win!
