## Description

The Rubik's Impossible is a 3x3 Rubik's puzzle cube with a very high challenge level. It is just like the classic Rubik’s Cube, but it changes colors depending on the angle. Just when it looks like the Rubik's Impossible is solved, look again. The iridescent tiles change color when viewed from different angles, making this portable puzzle more challenging than any game you have done. Now it's time to really look at a problem in a different way- actually, two different ways. Each step involves a sequence of twists of the cube, like the original Rubik’s cube, to move a particular square. The Rubik’s Cube is a highly addictive brain teaser that has fascinated fans around the world for decades. It features six different sides, each made up of nine colorful squares. A must for puzzle lovers, the aim is to try twist and turn the Rubik’s Cube to its original state, with every side having one solid color. The new and improved Rubik’s Cube features a mechanism that results in smoother, faster, and more reliable play. The traditional stickers have been replaced with plastic tiles which means no fading, peeling, or cheating. The Rubik’s Cube is all about smart play and is guaranteed to improve your muscle memory and hand eye coordination. This puzzle toy is not only about fun but improving your motor and problem-solving skills. Once you have the cube in your hand and scramble it up, you will quickly realize that there is not just an instant fix. Trying to solve it is fun and addictive, and once you’ve mastered it, you can impress all your friends with how you can solve one of life’s great mysteries: how to solve a Rubik’s Cube.

Review: This thing was intense! - I love solving rubiks cubes and had my eye on this one for a while. I made the mistake of only briefly admiring the cube before messing it up and trying to solve it. I very quickly realized how difficult this thing was, because I thought I was doing good at figuring out the primary color of the pieces until I was on the last face and realized I had a couple that I guessed wrong on. You need good lighting and if you're not using a cheat sheet of some sort, the best of luck to you! I can normally solve a cube in under a couple minutes. This is the first cube I've had in a while that gave me a challenge. I was literally making notes for myself on the color pieces and mapping it out while I went. The finished cube does have some pieces that almost look wrong, but they are in the correct place and the line direction is correct as well. 10/10 this was such a refreshingly fun brain teaser. It's displayed on my desk because I was proud of being able to complete it. I'm both excited and dreading having to solve this cube again. If you know someone who enjoys rubiks cubes.. This would be an awesome gift.
Review: Knowing how to solve a 3x3 does not mean this is gonna be easy - I really (foolishly) thought this wasn't gonna be that much more difficult than a normal 3x3. I'm certainly not fast enough for any competitions, but my average solve time is just over a minute which I don't think is terrible for someone who's only been in the hobby a few months. So I thought I'd be able to figure it out. It took me over ten minutes just to get the first cross done. After more like forty minutes I got stuck in an unending loop thinking I got the first layer solved, only to look around the perimeter and realize that the corner piece I'd slotted in was wrong. Haven't even gotten to the second layer yet and I've had it for over a day. My sole complaint with it is that the turning is kinda crunchy, as is expected with this brand's cubes. It's definitely not for speed solving, but let's be real, you're not gonna be speed-solving this thing anyways. That being said it is just, like, visually beautiful. Taking it outside and rotating it in the sun is very pretty and disorienting. I included some close-up shots of the lenticular tiles; there isn't an easy way to tell which color is on which layer except by physically moving the cube. Great overall. Kinda pricey for a Rubik's cube but the novelty is something else. Can't wait to see my buddy who got me into cubing in the first place to see if he can figure it out.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to take it apart to lubricate it so that it turns more smoothly?**
A: To take it apart, you would have have to remove the center stickers to get to the screws.    Mine turns fairly well, for a Rubik’s brand puzzle.  I have lubed other puzzles, but not my Rubik’s ones.  I feel that if you pull the pieces apart a little bit, you can lube it enough to make it little easier to turn.
I hope this helps.

**Q: Does your cube rattle? Mine arrived with a slight rattle on the inside. Drives me nuts. is it defective?**
A: No. We own several on- and off-brand cubes and none of them rattle when shaken. It sounds like one of the mechanisms around the core might have broken in transit.

**Q: Amazon lists current Rubik’s speed cube and old version speed cube. What is the difference and why more expensive?**
A: I have purchased 4 of the less expensive "New Version Rubik's Speed" cubes shipped from Amazon. They were all the latest magnetic version manufactured by Spin Master. They are my favorite cubes, though I own many "flagship" models by most of the top cube producers in 2022-3(with the exception of Gan. I refuse to spend that much).

I think the "Old Version" uses the wrong pictures. Years ago Rubik's teamed with Gan to make the RSC(Rubik's Speed Cube). I'm fairly certain that cube was non-magnetic and may have had stickers instead of tiles. They might be selling the old version for more money because it's rare.

I could be wrong about the "old version", but I really do like the $15 Spin Master Rubik's Magnetic Speed Cube. Not the fastest cube out there, or lightest, but a great quality magnetic for the casual cuber or beginner.

**Q: Is this cube sticker less? And if it has the stickers do they peel of easily?**
A: I don't know.  Mine is still on there.  Now, wasn't that a productive answer? Linda

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new favorite Rubik's puzzle!
*by S***A on May 21, 2022*

This puzzle is wonderful on multiple levels. It is my new favorite twisty puzzle, hands down. Just for a start, the visual effects of the lenticular tiles are more interesting than is easily conveyed in photos. From certain angles, each of your eyes may see the same tile as a different color; ironically, this sometimes means perceiving so-called "impossible colors" like yellow-blue or red-green as your brain tries to combine the visual inputs. The main thing I love is that this puzzle is genuinely challenging even for someone who has played with many twisty puzzles. There are two different solutions; the first is shown in the product photos and videos where each side appears as a solid color from a particular angle. This is quite a fun challenge by itself. But the second solution is substantially harder, and really raises the challenge level beyond what I expected! For the second solution, each side "twinkles" the correct color as one views it from changing angles, but there is no single perspective where all tiles on one side show the same color. The one "clue" as to which tiles were correct for the first solution (they show the same color at the same time) is of no help at all in finding the second... instead it was a deduction problem, and quite the mental workout! There is still room for improvement in the design and implementation. Many of the colors can be difficult to tell apart... a tile that shifts between red and yellow might sometimes appear to be orange, for example. The "classic" Rubik's colors are probably not the ideal choice for this sort of puzzle. All in all though, I'm glad this product exists and love the idea!
