			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ready for a challenging puzzle? Check out this new variant on the classic Rubik&#8217;s Cube which isn&#8217;t comfortable just being perfectly square.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4387 aligncenter" title="rubiks_mirror_cube" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/rubiks_mirror_cube.jpg" alt="rubiks mirror cube" width="520" height="473" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The new <a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001AS8TJA">Rubik&#8217;s Mirror Blocks puzzle</a> makes things a bit more complicated than the original by making each and every one of its blocks a slightly different size.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4388" title="rubiks_mirror_cube2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/rubiks_mirror_cube2.jpg" alt="rubiks mirror cube2" width="520" height="467" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And instead of pretty colors, each one is covered with a mirrored surface, making it just that much more difficult to figure out.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4391" title="rubiks_bump_cube_compared" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/rubiks_bump_cube_compared.jpg" alt="rubiks bump cube compared" width="520" height="314" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I managed to find a video clip showing the unboxing of the new cube here:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/09/22/rubiks-mirror-blocks-puzzle/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The puzzle is slated for release in Japan in the next couple of weeks for ¥2079 (appx $20 USD), but I haven&#8217;t been able to find out anything about a North American release. Perhaps if you&#8217;re persuasive, you can convince the puzzle&#8217;s designer, <span>Hidetoshi Takeji to ship you one. He was recently sighted on the </span><a href="http://www.twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&amp;t=10243">TwistyPuzzles</a> forums offering to ship them internationally.</p>
