Mirror Cube

Mirror Cube

Intermediate Puzzle

The Mirror Cube also known as Mirror Blocks is a silver reflective puzzle made out of plastic. It was originally invented in 2006 by twisty puzzle enthusiast and designer Hidetoshi Takeji and is a shape modification of the 3 x 3 Rubik's Cube. This puzzle has nearly identical internal mechanisms of the Rubik's Cube however each piece is identified by its shape rather than the standard 6 colors. This means it has the same solving theory as the Rubik's Cube. Since the World Cube Association (WCA) does not recognize the Mirror Cube as an official puzzle records are difficult to establish but the puzzle has been recorded as being solved in as little as 9.32 seconds!
