Review: Platonic pleasure - The dodecahedron is arguably the most complex and intriguing of the five regular solids. This CMY dodecahedron combines geometric intricacy with the varied possibilities of subtractive color mixing. Many reviews here talk about its use as a fidget toy and decorative object for contemplation, which it serves admirably. I mention three additional ways of enjoying this product. 1. Use it in light shows, along with mirrors, lasers, prisms, etc. For example, the attached video explores the effect of shining green laser light on the solid, demonstrating its high internal reflectivity. 2. From certain viewpoints, the pentagonal faces of the Mundus can appear with (mostly) a single color. Then slight shifts in viewpoint can change the color of an entire face in an instant. The color can even disappear as the face becomes completely transparent. Determining the true color of a face is often not easy, and could be the objective of a bar or parlor game. With enough drinks, this can be pretty challenging. 3. Find solids or shapes that appear reflected in the dodecahedron interior. For example, it's easy to spot a colorful parallelipiped somewhere inside. In any event, since the Mundus is made from acrylic with color films laminated onto its faces, it can be pretty fragile. I would handle it delicately and grip it only along its edges or vertices. Be extra careful not to scratch or drop it. Clean with a little water and a microfiber cloth, never use alcohol.
