Rubik's Impossible Cube

Rubik's Impossible Cube

Advanced Puzzle

The original Rubik’s Cube is designed with six colors: red, blue, white, green, orange, and yellow and is made of plastic components. Originally called the Magic Cube, the Rubik’s Cube was designed in 1974 by Ernõ Rubik, a Hungarian professor, to help his students understand three-dimensional problems. The six sides have nine smaller squares on each face that can be scrambled, twisted, and matched to solve the puzzle. In this particular variant of the Rubik’s Cube, the nine smaller squares on each side are lenticular tiles that feature shifting colors, intended to increase the level of challenge to those hoping to complete the puzzle. A different angle reflects different colors for a second solution.
