Rubik's 360 (new spherical puzzle from the creator of the Rubik's C

[_neutrino Veteran]

So on Saturday I picked up a Rubik's 360 which is the new puzzle from the folks that make the Rubik's Cube. I found it to be much more challenging than a Rubik's Cube (being that a 3x3 takes roughly 20-30 seconds to solve) it took me roughly 3-4 hours to solve the puzzle and I find that it has more Replay ability than the traditional Cube does.

The Rubik's 360 is spherical as opposed to cube-shaped, transparent rather than solid, but it?s very, very Rubik?s.

It will take a clever mind to solve it, it has the original 6 Rubik?s colours but it?s more than a logic challenge, you?ve got to develop some skill as well.

When you actually put your hands around the Rubik?s 360 for the first time you can?t let go. You instinctively understand what the game is about and immediately want to start solving it, but first you have to find out how it actually works and how you can defy gravity.

If anyone has one and wants a little assistance or has question about how I was able to solve mine just ask.

Also if anyone has any other great physical puzzles let me know I love puzzles especially the old fashioned wooden puzzles.

Interesting but at the same time confusing. Regular cube is hard for me..in fact i think i never solved it :(

I have a normal 3x3 a 4x4 and a 5x5 Rubik's cube and I know of someone that had a custom 100 x 100 cube made that he uses as a coffee table in his house.

I have never been able to complete one of these, however I can do one yes ONE side :D

I've done a 3x3 (...) and 4x4, but that 100x100? there's a life ambition!

The next time I go over to his place I will snap a picture of it and post it.
