Abstract
A toy, game, or tool configured to test a user's ability to balance an object on an apex. The toy/game/tool is comprised of an apparatus and a lever. The apparatus is comprised substantially of a pyramidal assembly, where the pyramidal assembly further has a base, a middle section and an apex. In various embodiments, the shape of the base can be comprised of a triangle, a rectangle, circle, oval, etc. The lever has a length, a weight, and a tapered notch coupled perpendicular to an end thereon, wherein the tapered notch has a length and weight. In use, a user places the lever on a top section of the apex. The lever is rockably coupled to the apex until firmly and securely balanced thereon which can optionally be done under a timed condition.

A method of testing a user's ability to balance a lever on an apex, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an object to a user, the object having a substantially pyramidal shape;
- providing the user with a lever, the lever having a length, a weight, and a tapered notch coupled perpendicular to an end thereon, wherein the tapered notch having a length and weight;
- allowing the user to place the lever on a top section of an apex;
- timing the user's skill to balance the lever on the apex;
- and
- allowing the user to rotate the base after the lever has been balanced on the apex to further test a user's patience, coordination, concentration, and critical thinking skills.
A method of testing a user's ability to balance a lever on an apex, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing an object to a user, the object having a pyramidal assembly, the pyramidal assembly forming component parts comprising an apex member, a middle section member, and a base, wherein the pyramidal assembly is coupled by a tight interference fit that allows the pyramidal assembly to be assembled and disassembled among the component parts by the user's hand, without the need of tools;
- providing the user with a lever, the lever having a length, a weight, and a tapered notch coupled perpendicular to an end thereon, wherein the tapered notch having a length and weight;
- allowing the user to place the lever on a top section of an apex;
- and
- timing the user's skill to balance the lever on the apex.
