Our Editorial Review
Amazon.com Product Description The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world's most perfect -- and addictive -- puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik's cube is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were seen solving it with their feet on "That's Incredible!", conspiracy theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.  | | Each side is just over 2", while each sticker is about ½" square. | For all of the hullabaloo, the Rubik's Cube actually has a pretty straightforward premise. The faces of the cube are covered by nine stickers in six solid colors (one for each 2.25" side); when the puzzle is solved, each face is one solid color. Then you realize as you turn the rows and columns and see all the colors flash by that there are 43 quintillion possible pattern combinations (that's 43 million millions), but just one right one. Maybe Cubaholics Anonymous wasn't such a bad idea after all…. This Rubik's Cube has reflective red, white, blue, yellow, green, and orange colored stickers with an official twenty-fifth anniversary sticker in the center white square. The cube is packaged in a clear hexagon box and includes a black display stand. There is also a solutions hint and game suggestion book, just in case.

Many hours of fun or frustration Posted 16 August 2008
You gotta love the rubics cube. It is just an all time favorite and classic toy. I remember playing with this toy 30 years ago. Once i removed the stickers to complete the puzzle. Of course this ruins the toy for future attempts at the puzzle. Then later i learned how to take it apart and reassemble the puzzle so it was solved.
Now as an adult i just sit up for hours ever so close to solving it without the former mentioned tactics.
The cube comes with instructions for solving. i just don't get them though.
Still you gotta love the rubics cube
Back to the Future... Posted 25 July 2008
The cube remind me of myself twenty years ago!
Got couple of cheapo cubes ($1, $2 versions) and the original is still the best!
The only reason why I did not give it a higher star is the Cube Professor is a WAY better challenge. I only play the 3x3x3 when my daughter requests it.
great gift Posted 12 July 2008

Makes Every1 Think Posted 14 June 2008
This toy is very good for the entire family and it makes every1 wants to participate. So my advice is buy 2 or 3 of this toy and keep it on the coffee table so every family member and guest can train their brain muscle and solve the cube!!!
A Classic Memory Posted 03 June 2008
I've had a few over the years and understand the difference between good quality and poor quality units.
This one is top quality, turns nicely, is solid and have had no issues what so ever. It feels just like the original to me.
