Kid on the D train with a dodecahedron puzzle cube. (Think a rubik's cube with 12 faces and 11 facets on each face.)
I'm watching him mess with it thinking he's just playing, but then I realize he's doing a solving algorithm.
That kid's going to show up after break speed-solving a megaminx and I'm frankly a little jealous.
(I was probably staring too much but if you don't want me to stare at you on the train don't wave a colorful platonic solid in my face.)

Honestly it's "jangles keys" level at that point.

Very obvious trap in the woods baited with several interesting johnson solids... and me caught looking very annoyed.

@futurebird I have one of those, and it's good fun.
One interesting thing I've found: you can produce a consistent solution with any global rotation of all corners, and of all edges. (i.e. take the set of all corners, and rotate it as a whole).
The same is not true of the cube -- you end up with a parity error in some cases.

@futurebird A consequence of this: The white, pink and light blue faces are equally spaced around one vertex. So there is a permutation of the puzzle where there are three faces with the trans flag colours on, in different permutations. (Rotate all the corners 120° around a specific vertex, and all the edges 240° around the same vertex).
