Original entertainment. Not original product
The Rubik's cube has not failed to be a recurring feature of most households albeit it is well known to cause anger, frustration and despair. As a result of my discovery of an original '80s octagonal-based prism Rubik's cube lying around in my home, I decided to purchase an 'original' Rubik's cube at a local toy shop.
Whilst providing excellent levels of brain training this little toy broke after only two days of use (the blue centerpiece snapped off). It would seem therefore that the Rubik's brand have cocked up the design and left the core extremely vulnerable to damage.
A fun toy but whatever you do...don't drop it.
The classic mathematical puzzle of this planet.
Rubik's Cube came out around 1980, about 30 years ago.
People were far more intelligent back then.
There is very little point anyone today bothering with a Rubik's Cube. Just forget it and get back to reality TV and txtng each other.
For people over 40: The physical mechanism of these 2000 era cubes is probably not as good as the old ones: at any rate, they are a little different. Obviously the platonic cube is unchanged.
There are now various idiotic cubes with flashing lights, etc - suitable for Today's People.
