Mini Level 3 Post-It Note Menger Sponge

Nicholas Rougeux created a level 3 Menger sponge out of post-it notes and it took him a mere 867 days. ^^ I definitely don't have the patience to attempt this one. To give you an idea of the scale, each of the tiny cubes in the sponge is built from pieces that are 1/16 of a standard size post-it note. The finished sponge measures a little over 11" (28 cm) in each direction. A Menger sponge is a type of mathematical entity known as a fractal curve. Instructions to build your own Menger sponge are located here.
