For what it's worth...some facts:
- It looks complicated but it is really easy to make. Much easier than the "5 intersecting tetrahedra" or even an origami swan!
- The unit used in this modular is Thomas Hull's "PHiZZ" unit (pentagon-hexagon zig-zag unit).
- Another advantage is you can fold it from standard square memo pads and do something else the same time as these PHiZZ units are really simple to make.
- It may look fragile but the links are quite strong you can build giant models with these.
- The big model shown the "standard" buckyball is a representation of the Buckminster fullerene molecule, which consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a sphere (32 planes: 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons all neatly arranged around a sphere).
- Very good remedy against boredom, high blood pressure, smoking, insanity, anxiety, stress, excess spare time, restlessness etc. etc.! ;)
