    • Peter Lea has made instructions to build your own Penrose triangle:

    It’s not impossible, because Jarek has shown that it can be done! There’s no photo-editing involved either. The whole process took him only five minute (four to find the camera batteries)!

      Took me a minute at looking at it, but I see how he did it. Great job! ;- )

      The instructions are flawed. They’re missing two pieces. =P

      Can someone explain how this is done to me?

      It’s an illusion, it’s really not connected at the top. Look closely and you’ll see two rows of red cheese slopes to give the appearance that it is.

      It broke my mind for a minute or two…

      SW4J: Actually, it’s one row of cheeses and one 1 x 2 panel.

      Took a bit of thinking, but I see how it’s done. Cleverness.

      Haha Awesome! I am studying this right now, and I made a ‘Penrose’ out of paper just last night!

      Now, with lego… this achieves at least an 8 on the awesomeness scale – but it is a lot more than that

      That’s a great effect! Took me a little while to figure out how it was done.

      To be fair, the instructions aren’t quite right…
