Do you remember The Rubix’s Cube?  This puzzle has been around just as long as I have, and I absolutely love it!  The Rubik’s Cube is an incredibly addictive, multi-dimensional challenge that has fascinated puzzle fans around the world since 1980 (I am giving my age away now!). With “43 Quintillion” possible moves and only “ONE” solution, it will keep you occupied for hours on end, day after day.  I have tried and tried to solve the Rubix’s Cube, but as yet, cannot solve it!  But, if you are like me, no puzzle is impossible and you keep on going – even if it is for years!

Nearly one in every five people in the world has twisted, jumbled and enjoyed this immensely popular puzzle. Rubik’s Cube is a six-sided, 3 x 3 cube puzzle with each side of Printed Polypropylene Plastic Stickers (bright colours - life of 750,000 rubs) solid colour when you receive it. The object is to twist and turn the Cube using various combinations to return it to its original state… every side finally having one solid colour. It comes with your own “Solution HINTS! Booklet” to help learn move sequences, various games with the Cube and step-by-step instructions toward the solution.

I recommend people to introduce this puzzle to the younger generation, as I can see it being highly popular over the next 30+ years!  The Rubix Cube costs “12.99, and is available from http://www.johnadams.com.
