Rubik's Revolution

I feel slightly old seeing this.

Now, granted, I think you need bells and whistles and stuff like this to get the attention of consumers these days, especially the kid market they seem to be aiming for with this. It's just...they made a Rubik's Cube interactive. And Multi-player, for that matter.

When I was younger, a multi-player Rubik's cube just meant passing it over to the friend next to you to let them take a crack at it. And, the premise of the Rubik's Cube was so simple a child could get frustrated with it, use a screwdriver to pry the plastic pieces apart and reassemble it fully completed.

*looks sheepish*

Hey, I never saw it as 'cheating' so much as 'creative problem solving.'

Ah, memories.

Then of course, there's the hulk method. Throw it at the ground so it hits right on a corner and the projected force causes it to explode into its component pieces. Then reassemble.

Or the popular remove the stickers and reattach them in proper sequence method.
