Rubik’s Cube Soap Looks Perfect, Harder to Solve than Actual Cube
 |
While it’s certainly no longer the case, there was a time when solving the Rubik’s Cube was one of the greatest accomplishments of the geek world. Now, there are people (and robots) who can solve it in a matter of seconds. But the original 1980s Cube is still an icon… |

Asymetrical Rubik’s Cube Should Keep You Busy for at Least a Few Minutes
 |
I’ve seen lots of funky Rubik’s Cube variants over the years, but this is definitely one of the more unusual ones I’ve come across. Instead of a simple 3x3x3 (or larger) grid of cube faces, this oddball has different size faces to really keep you on your toes.… |

Pantone Rubik’s Cube: Easier on the Eyes, Harder to Solve
 |
I’ve known people who love playing with their Rubik’s cubes, and others, usually kids, who just take off the stickers and stick them on again. However, this has to be one of the most stylish Rubik’s cubes out there, and it’s appropriately called Rubitone, since it’s covered with Pantone colors.… |

Brains aren’t the only thing required to solve the Rubik’s Cube in record time. There’s also technique and, of course, practice. One of my friends used to teach me how to spot patterns on the faces of the Rubik’s Cube so I could solve it faster, but I never really… |

CubeStormer II LEGO Robot Now Holds World Record for Solving the Rubik’s Cube
 |
I can’t solve a Rubik’s Cube to save my life. Robots don’t have that problem. There are smart humans out there that can solve it fast though. The current official human record for a Rubik’s cube 3×3 puzzle is just 5.66 seconds. CubeStomer II just laughed and broke the record… |

Rubik’s Cube Chest Has a Different Kind of Puzzle
 |
Instructables member and loving father Makendo made a unique chest of drawers for his son – a 10:1 replica of a Rubik’s Cube. The resulting furniture can’t actually be played and solved like the toy because it only rotates on one axis, but Makendo did make it so his kids… |

Trademark and copyright issues notwithstanding, Chris Myles could have enough goodies to start a Portal… trinkets and baubles business. After wowing the interwebs with his Personality Cores and Lemon Grenades, he’s back with a doubly geeky toy: Rubik’s Companion Cubes. |

Rubik’s Stress Cube is Unsolveable, Still Won’t Stress You Out Like a Real Rubik’s Cube
 |
I’m not very good at figuring out Rubik’s Cubes. I did go to University with a guy who would twist and fiddle with 3×3, 4×4, even 5×5 Rubik’s Cubes, and can be done with the whole thing in a matter of a few minutes. |

Rubik’s Cube Mug is Totally Unsolveable
 |
No matter how hard I try, I can’t figure out how to turn the sides on this Rubik’s Cube. Maybe it’s the ceramic handle sticking out of the side of it, or maybe it’s the giant hole in the yellow side.… |
