Dodecahedron twisty puzzle. Otherwise known as a Megaminx. I picked up my Rubik’s cube with the goal of getting to sub 30 secs solves, one of my “before 40 goals”, and have improved to just about a minute.
This thing is a big reason why, 12 faces made of pentagons. It was fun learning how to modify the algorithms I knew for the classic 3x3.
Now I solve it once or twice before bed, not for time but to slow my brain down.
The Rubiks cube seems to tempt me into going fast but this thing, forces me to go slow, be patient, and build each face the right way. It’s fun seeing it come together.
Stimulating your brain doesn’t have to be drilling knowledge, sometimes is just as easy as slowing down.
