Just learned that viral 'Roman dodecahedron' mystery is solved by a 3D printed copy and a candle, and I sat in a museum in London staring at the real one for 20 minutes last year
A video with 4 million views claims the 12-sided metal objects were used to knit gloves, so I checked the actual paper and it turns out the experiment only tested one size of yarn and the holes are too small for most fingers, which makes me wonder if we're all just accepting whatever sounds clever enough.

Sat there for 20 minutes and all I got was a stiff neck and zero answers. Meanwhile some guy with a 3D printer cracks it in his garage. Classic. Guess I should've stared harder or brought a candle.
