Buckball Penta-Cannoli Torus

Guy at work got a set of these as a present.  They are ephemeral, occasionally frustrating, odd, and sometimes rewarding.  Here's a 5 sided torus made from little cannoli shapes.

 First make 5 of the pentagons.  We left the hole in the middle.  The shapes have 4-ball sides.  The hole may help with allowing the cannoli tubes to flex when you place the last tube.
 Here are the five.  If they don't want to line up square, you may have to unzip your cannoli and flip it the other way.  You know how it is.  Magnets.  The last one goes in tight; you have to simultaneously pry open the nearly-complete torus and make sure you get the match-up correct, too.  Took me two tries.
