dodecahedrons

I couldn't find a thread on Grant's fun blog post.   I'm editing this first post to remove my first fave theory, and farther down in the thread I have posted a video of my new fave theory.     This article came up on my feed after I read Grant's post...strangely enough.

Hi @lil-chick,

Thanks for sharing that.

Grant

strange geometry for a camp stove, why go through the trouble of making it a dodecahedron? the nodules I assume are to stop it from tipping

my guess is a decorative candle holder/cover, maybe one to keep close to your bed to prevent an open flame catching fabric alight

 

Because it looks like it is meant to be rotated (with the various "spikes"), and has differently shaped holes, I would hypothesise it's an object used to look through to something, to measure something... or possibly it can be used to receive the sun and tell time.

Sorry about the dog video I posted by mistake.   Here is the corrected video, LOL

from the video description:  " My eureka moment was visiting the Met in New York and seeing Roman jewelry with knitted chains. I will outline how perfectly designed the dodecahedron was as a tool for making what is now referred to as Viking Knitting using gold wire."

I fixed the video link above, sorry about the dog video haha

When did Grant have fun, what's next, did he make a joke? Post a link or I won't believe it.

Thank God we have you to entertain us.
