Rubik's 360 Puzzle Ball Erno Rubik's Creative Madness Set to Unhinge The Mentally Unstable

We all remember the Rubik's Cube. Six sides of multi-colored mayhem that
drove many a would-be puzzle solver to the brink of insanity. How could
something so simple turn out to be so mentally taxing? As a child of the
80s I can still remember the craze as it hit the market. Nerds and geeks
everywhere flooded the stores to become the first to solve the riddle. I
was one of them. It took me only about a week before I was exploring
ways of dismantling the device to return it to its original state of
order. In an effort to entice a new generation, one lost in video games
and technology, the torturers responsible for the Rubik's Cube have come
up with a new creation, the Rubik's 360.
The Rubik's 360 is one mean-looking puzzle sphere. It actually contains
three concentric spheres of varying diameter two of which have small
holes cut into them. Inside the clear container, there are six small
colored balls. The goal of the puzzle is to navigate the balls through
the small openings in the inner spheres and place them into their
corresponding color-coded compartments on the outer sphere. It's just
that simple. The challenge; prevent the already-placed balls from
breaking loose while you work on the others.
While the original Rubik's Cube (still the world's fastest-selling toy)
was genius you could still solve it by taking it apart or removing the
stickers. The Rubik's 360 has no stickers and from what I can see, no
easy way to take it apart. So if you have tons of time on your hands and
love driving yourself mad, you definitely need to get your hands on one.
They are slated to hit the market sometime later this summer and will
retail for $14.99.
