Domino is a type of game or puzzle that involves lining up dominoes in curved or straight lines and then knocking them over one by one. It’s a fun activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and is often used as a teaching tool in schools to help students learn about math, science, and social skills. You can also use dominoes to make art. Artwork made with dominoes can include curved lines that form pictures, grids that create patterns when they fall, and 3-D structures like towers and pyramids.
Dominoes have been around for a long time and are known by many names. You might hear them called bones, cards, men, tiles, stones, spinners, or tickets. They usually come in a set of 28 pieces and are arranged to be twice as wide as they are tall.
When you knock over the first domino in a line, it transfers its potential energy to the next domino, which in turn gives it the push needed to fall. This process continues until all the dominoes have fallen. When the last domino falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and spreads to each of the other pieces, causing them to move and potentially knock over more.
Lily Hevesh started playing with dominoes when she was 9 years old, and she loved setting them up in a straight or curved line and then flicking the first domino to see the whole row cascade down. As an adult, Hevesh turned her love of creating domino art into a successful career. She now has a YouTube channel where she shows viewers how to create impressive domino setups.
Hevesh’s creations are mind-blowing, but she says they actually come together in a similar way to how an engineer designs a building. She starts by considering the theme or purpose of an installation and brainstorming images or words that might be associated with it. She then creates a prototype of each section of the design and tests it. When she’s confident each section works properly, she puts them all together.
In the case of Domino’s, that meant sticking close to the company’s core values, one of which is “Champion Our Customers.” After David Brandon was sacked as CEO, new leader Tony Doyle put this value into practice by talking directly with employees about what they wanted from the company. Hevesh says this approach to customer feedback helped them improve their service and boost profits.
