Rubik’s 360 promises hours of frustrating fun
by Chris in Miscellaneous Gadgets
Like most other kids, at some point during my childhood I owned a Rubik’s Cube. That thing frustrated me for hours on end. Finally after weeks of working at it, I figured out the trick to solving it. Well now Professor Erno Rubik has created a new contraption that looks even more confusing than his cube.
So what is this new spherical puzzle called? Why the Rubik’s 360 of course! (What, did you expect it to be called something lame like ‘Rubik’s Sphere’?) The object of the puzzle is to get six different colored balls into their respective holes within the larger sphere. This is done by shaking the ball and moving it around. It sounds like this is a game of skill, more than a mental challenge. It’s due out later this year, but I’m still wondering how I’m supposed to solve this thing since it doesn’t have any stickers to remove.

February 5th, 2009 at 3:02 pmNo stickers and also its not possible to take it apart and put it back together to solve it. I’ve got some more detailed explanations of how the Rubik 360 works on my blog.
In addition, I today posted several Rubik 360 videos.
