<div>Jason Smith was showing his mechanism for the [http://www.puzzleforge.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=54 first functional Pentultimate] (by Jason Smith).<br />
at a Berkley twisty puzzle meetup when he was told flatly by Bram Cohen, "Only a true knucklehead would actually try that." <br />
<br />
Jason agreed, and later adopted the term himself to describe the mechanism as the "Knucklehead Mechanism" in the thread announcing the first 24-Cube. [http://www.twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10842&hilit=knucklehead+mechanism&start=50]<br />
<br />
It is a term used not with scorn, but great affection and wonder at the persistence and insanity to go where others would never tread for sound and sensible reasons.<br />
<br />
== Knucklehead mech ==<br />
A mechanism others had roundly discarded as completely impractical, created only with great time, expense and effort.<br />

== Knucklehead endeavor ==<br />
Pursuit or completion of a series generally thought to be far too difficult, expensive or time consuming to ever be practical.<br />
