So while playing Skiball (the game of champions) a bit ago, I won the most fabulous prize ever: a Horses(TM) 4D puzzle!
I was terribly excited to find out how a 4D puzzle might work. How would they incorporate Time into the puzzle? I was a little bit concerned when the insert said that it was "3D + Details". Details does NOT constitute another dimension.
Anyway, I photographed the experience:
The puzzle box. Oooh, this is exciting!
The 4D horse begins to take shape. This appears to be a head of some sort. Still only 3D, but I'm hopeful.
Ew, have you ever wondered what the inside of a horse looks like? It's all black with lots of tiny squares.
The finished product (note the horseshoe-shaped puzzle box). We gradually accelerate the horse up to 88 MPH...
And our 4D horse enters hyperspace:
Slow day at the office?
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I had NO IDEA you could enter hyperspace at 88 mph!!! Does that only apply to horses? Cause I'm sure I've driven that fast a couple times (on long, straight, empty highways) and *I* never got to enter hyperspace. I feel really gypped, now. :(
ReplyDeleteAs a math nerd and a medical student, I thought this was hilarious! (and I got the "Back to the Future" reference too)
ReplyDeletecharlieeeeeee. we're going to candy mountain...
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite post ever. ^_^ The 4-D stuff bugs me too! Recently my in-laws + their grandkids were putting together a 4-D puzzle, and I asked them how the heck time fit into the puzzle. (I don't think they got it.)
