| This unusual container for a pair of spectacles can be yellow, or if you open the case, you can continue to open it until each half has performed a complete revolution, and it will now be yellow! |
| | Invented in the 1990s, the Logic Specs case is an unusual container for a pair of spectacles! The case is held closed by magnets. But when you open the case, you can continue to open it until each half has performed a complete revolution, and the band on the outside of the case is now a different colour!Logic Specs Case |
| | If you drop the little metal slug down the copper tube, it should fall under the pull of gravity, but - hey presto - the slug travels down the tube... |
