Rubik's 360 - New Toy In Town

Hello..

You all might be knowing or must have even solved the Rubik's Cube.

Nearly three decades after his cube took over the world by storm, master puzzler Erno Rubik has come up with 3-D mechanical puzzle- the Rubik's 360.

The 360 has three clear spheres, each within the other, and six coloured balls in the innermost sphere. The puzzle involves changing the position of six balls, each a different color, in a central sphere to six compartments in the outer sphere. This is done by shaking them through a middle sphere that only has two holes.

With the cube the quickest solutions are based on formulas and you can remember the fastest way to reach the solution from various starting points. The 360 requires no maths, it is more about physics.

The 360 was launched in UK last month and is expected to be marketed world-wide soon.
