Rubik’s Cube 

The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world’s most perfect — and addictive — puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik’s cube is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were seen solving it with their feet on “That’s Incredible!”, conspiracy theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.

Features

• “43 Quintillion” possible moves and only “ONE” solution!
• As a special added bonus, a Free Rubik’s Cube stand is included
• This completely redesigned gift package is a sure-fire, must-have collectable!
• Twist and turn the Cube® using various combinations to return it to its original state…every side finally having one solid color!
• A stimulating challenging puzzle! Rubik’s Cube is the world’s popular 3-D puzzle phenomenon!

Rubik’s Cube
 

Very interesting toy , I’ve spent hours playing with it trying to solve it 1st then trying to break my records
it’s very smooth to turn even when new (which is a good thing) but the stickers start to peel very soon , so I had to buy new stickers or try to paint them.   More Details

Rubik’s Cube Brain Teaser Puzzle with Helpful Hints 

I am very pleased with this Rubik’s cube. It seemed a bit stiff at first, but after a couple of hours of twisting and turning the cube it really loosened up and now moves freely and easily. I have seen other cubes that are not of the Rubik’s brand and are a couple bucks cheaper, but have read only awful reviews and complaints of the device breaking that allows the cube to turn, or pieces and stickers falling off the cube. I have had no problems with mine and have enjoyed figuring out how to solve the cube.  More Details

Rubik’s Revenge Cube 4 X 4 

After having finally conquered the brain-twisting original 3 X 3 cube, I was eager to try the next level. I wasn’t disappointed. While many of the techniques for solving the 3 X 3 cube are transferable to the 4 x 4, the 4 X 4 cube also presents several new and interesting twists, no pun intended, that make for a much more challenging puzzle. After a few minutes at it, you’ll understand why it’s called the “Revenge”. Solving the puzzle for the first time is a feat sure to fill you with lasting smugness. But soon you’re at it again, endeavoring to master the solving techniques and best your previous time. Though slightly larger than the 3 X 3 version, the Rubik’s Revenge is still quite comfortable to grip and easy to manipulate. However, my hands are on the larger side, so people with small hands may find the cube a bit difficult to handle. As far as durability goes, if this cube can withstand the hours of merciless twisting punishment of my brutish man hands, you can bet the average person will get some great mileage out of it. A fun and challenging puzzle for problem solvers of all ages!  More Details
