Domokos and a former student, Peter Varkonyi who is now at Princeton University in the United States, took up the challenge and created a shape they named Gomboc which mimics a turtle's shell.
Domokos and his wife spent hours scouring beaches to collect pebbles as part of a learning process to understand shapes and their mathematical dynamics.
Domokos said that by shaving off bits of a Gomboc shape it was possible to increase the number of equilibria.
