Manufacturer's Description
One of the most famous toys in history, Rubik's Cube is the incredibly addictive, multi-dimensional challenge that has fascinated fans since it arrived in 1980. Over "43 Quintillion" (that's 43 with 18 zeros to you and me) moves are possible with this original 3x3 Cube, but there is only one solution! A must for puzzle lovers, the aim is to twist and turn the Rubik's Cube to return it to its original state, with every side having one solid colour. For those who struggle to master this challenge - or simply lack the patience - the enclosed guide provides the simplest ever 7-step Rubik's Cube solution and introduces a number of other fantastic games to play. So, whether you're into simple siding or prefer a spot of classic cubing, hours of challenging fun lie ahead.

Just as I remember
I had one of the original cubes as a child and loved it. It is probably up in the loft somewhere but I wanted a new one anyway. This is exactly the same high quality I remember. It was lovely and fluid straight out of the box. I love it just as much now as I did then, now Im a bit smarter so can complete it too LOL. I have no hesitation in recommending this cube, it really is the best one you can buy.
Frustration and Embarrassment
This puzzle is durable and makes the owner use their mind and improve their dexterity. Whether it is educational is doubtful, although as I already said it encourages the user to think. Plus side: You can use it just about anywhere. It does not use batteries or mains electricity (a big plus for me, the bill payer), there are no small parts to lose and a sense of achievement is attained if you master the puzzle. Down side: Can become boring after a while and as I am finding out can lead to frustration.
After spending a great deal of time and energy a number of years ago, I finally mastered the mystery of the Rubik Cube and could solve the puzzle in a time that I, at least thought was impressive.
How frustrating. I bought a Rubik Cube with the intention of impressing my young grandson. How are the mighty fallen. Imagine my embarrassment when I found that I no longer had the knack for getting all those movable coloured cubes in the right order. Is this the beginning of the end, or is it the end of the beginning, or . . . nurse!! nurse!!
You'll Use it For a While...
This is one of those toys that you love when you buy, but then get bord of it after about a week and then stick it somewhere to rot. Plus you'll never solve it so it's not very rewarding. The thing I hate most about it is when you solve a side then you have to take it appart in order to do the second side!
