Doing a Rubik's cube while driving, how long does it take before you are sufficiently distracted that you lose control and perform a complete spin.

Where the hell did you get it ? I cannot find one anywhere down here in bloody Cornwall.

Never heard of a Rubik's 360, but quickest time for the cube was 24 seconds. Actually found one lying around the other day, and discovered that I have forgotten how to do it at all now.

From Hamleys. My GF is on their mailing list and they had a few on a first come first serve basis.

It's very different from the cube, you don't have to learn any special moves or memorise anything you just keep spinning it around and cursing till the balls drop in. I enjoyed it but it really needs to be more difficult. 15 minutes to suss out what to do then about 45 to get it done.

Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.

thanks ! will get one bought now.

Is it as easy as the original when you simple unstick the squares and superglue them back on?. Can it be taken to bits and reasembled?. Im not wasting hours on a puzzle.

Haven't tried breaking it yet but it does have a nice feel to it when tossed up and down in one hand. It also has these little nodule bits that stick out giving it good grip for hefting.
I think Rubik is a genius because it just screams "Throw me at the f**king wall!!!" when you can't do it properly. I'm sure some of the people who smash it up will have to buy the owner a new one, double sales.

[Erudite geezer]

If someone is completing the Rubiks cube in a matter of seconds (same colour on every face), is the cube in a favourable random set up to permit this?

Are there some permutations which would prevent a quick solution or even be unsolvable?

[Magic919]

It could never be unsolvable. Some positions maybe be a touch quicker.
