The Power of 7

The power of 7 is a major influence in the world. From ancient writings, to days of the week, to number of Harry Potter books, to alchemical thingies, to "Shichinin no samurai" - seven has indeed proven itself as a lucky number. Even in mathematics, it works its magic (we wouldn't have pi without dividing 22 by it, you know). Anywho, apply the number 7 to some awesome diamond shaped magnets, and you get Fractiles Magnetic Tiling Set.

The versatile elegant geometry of Fractiles allows anyone to create endless varieties of imaginative and beautiful designs. Designs range from very simple to infinitely complex. One can spend tireless hours discovering new levels of play and design. Fractiles fans range from young children to seniors, from those with no math background to advanced math researchers. And since it's all magnetic, your pattern or picture stays put. Great for building pattern recognition skills in the young and for meditation in the not-so-young. You can even decorate your refrigerator with them. Woo hoo!
