The Yoshimoto Cube +
Invented by Naoki Yoshimoto in 1971, this crazy toy is called a Yoshimoto cube. If you don’t remember that day in geometry class many years ago, let me refresh your memory. A polyhedron is a geometric object with flat faces and straight edges. Wikipedia has a more scientific explanation that I won’t bore you with. Anyways, watch and be somewhat tripped out by the Yoshimoto cube.
And for the record, I’m not dead. Just traveling and working on something new for xorsyst.com!

Very interesting…I’d probably get bored of it because I’m not a big fan of 3D shapes/rotation, but it’s still cool.

wow. I always thought the rubics cube was crazy the way you could move it all around but this is fantastic. If I ever see one in a store I will have to buy it.

Erm this cube has been around for years, are you that short of site content you have to make videos on ancient puzzles ?
And if that is you in the video I would suggest you stay away from cameras of any kind as you look like an ugly Harry Potter.
Good luck on finding/creating some worthwhile content !
