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.

Rubik’s Cube
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.

Great Toy2008-11-30
This cube didn't even need lubrication to start off with. After a few months or so, it obviously needed some vaseline, but that's a given for any cube.

I've had a great experience with it, been practicing for four months, record of 19 seconds.

Great buy. Definitely recommended.
funny for my son2008-11-23
this cube is fun,this is my first time to play it.it took me 2 weeks to set that.but now after training it took about 20 minute to all set
Rubik's Cubes are Awesome!2008-11-11
I love these things! The answer guide that came in the box was pretty useless, to tell you the truth. You're better off finding an answer guide online. But figuring out how to solve the cube on your own is awesome and rewarding. It always makes for a nice break when work is getting stressful.
Who doesn't love these things...2008-10-29
Who doesn't love these things - once you get going, they're absolutely uncontrollably addictive. At the price on Amazon, especially if you have a Prime membership, this is just the best gift to get anyone - especially after someone has picked up yours off your coffee-table and fiddled with it for an hour. It's not going to stop a bullet if someones shooting at you, but it does its job - I've had mine for a while, and it's still holding strong!
