Product Description

It's here. It's back. And it's just as dashed difficult as you remember. Curse of the early 1980s and most sought-after distraction at school breaktime (even moreso than the automatic drinks machine) Erno Rubik's masterful invention had the whole world scratching its collective head for years. Now you can scratch yours all over again. The cube - originally known as The Magic Cube - was nothing short of a global phenomenon. 300,000,000 have been sold worldwide, of which a staggering 100,000,000 changed hands in the period from 1980-82. And, with a impossibly large 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (that's 43.2 quintillion) possible permutations, it's no surprise that many of those original 300 million are now to be found slowly decomposing in landfill sites all over the world. This is the greatest shame of all. And the reason that gadgetshop can now procure you a mint version of the original to discombobulate your brain for old time's sake. Now introducing Rubiks 360. It may sound easy, but be under no illusion, this is the hardest Rubik's puzzle yet! Spin, twist, lock and rotate the transparent sphere; featuring niches that correspond to coloured spheres inside. The first true puzzle from Erno Rubik to challenge the classic cube for innovation and difficulty. The puzzle is provided pristine and complete. You may wish to keep it that way. Now go. Twist.

Rubik's 360
It is a very good puzzle, I have partially solved it but it is going to take me quite a while to complete it. Puzzles that take a long time to solve can be very good and this is one of them

Learning Tool
Very well constructed but after 10 mins deliberation completed in an hour. Great for youngsters wanting to learn about gravity but too easy for an adult with good puzzle skills.

Too easy. Fun for an hour or so.
Rather disappointing, especially as it was so over-hyped. Completed it in an hour. OK, there may be more elegant solutions, but since it's physics-based there is an obvious easy way to solve it, which isn't "cheating", and which most people will instinctively try first, and which works every time.

I suppose reply value comes from solving it as quickly as possible.

Mr Rubik - please can we have a purely maths-based puzzle next time, like the Cube, Clock, etc, with no physical or random elements.
