The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy. In a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by 9 stickers, among six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow).[9] A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid colour. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers, not all of them by Rubik. The original 3×3×3 version celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2005. A standard Rubik's cube measures 5.7 cm (approximately 2¼ inches) on each side. The puzzle consists of twenty-six unique miniature cubes, also called "cubies" or "cubelets". However, the centre cube of each of the six faces is merely a single square façade; all six are affixed to the core mechanisms. These provide structure for the other pieces to fit into and rotate around. So there are twenty-one pieces: a single core piece consisting of three intersecting axes holding the six centre squares in place but letting them rotate, and twenty smaller plastic pieces which fit into it to form the assembled puzzle. The Cube can be taken apart without much difficulty, typically by rotating the top layer by 45° and then prying one of its edge cubes away from the other two layers. Consequently it is a simple process to "solve" a Cube by taking it apart and reassembling it in a solved state. There are twelve edge pieces which show two coloured sides each, and eight corner pieces which show three colours. Each piece shows a unique colour combination, but not all combinations are present (for example, if red and orange are on opposite sides of the solved Cube, there is no edge piece with both red and orange sides). The location of these cubes relative to one another can be altered by twisting an outer third of the Cube 90°, 180° or 270°, but the location of the coloured sides relative to one another in the completed state of the puzzle cannot be altered: it is fixed by the relative positions of the centre squares and the distribution of colour. However, Cubes with alternative colour arrangements also exist; for example, they might have the yellow face opposite the green, and the blue face opposite the white (with red and orange opposite faces remaining unchanged). Erno Rubik invented the Cube in the spring of 1974 in his home town of Budapest, Hungary. He wanted a working model to help explain three-dimensional geometry and ended up creating the world?s best selling toy.

Based on the one unit that was open to the public, each cube was broken into 3 cramped levels: bottom level had the kitchen, a half-bath and living room; 2nd level had a cramped full bath and space for 2 bedrooms and some sitting space; top level was an attic/bedroom.

The Cube is an iconic 25 storey mixed-use development in the centre of Birmingham, England. Designed by Ken Shuttleworth of Make Architects, it contains 135 flats, 111,500 square feet (10,359 m2) of offices, shops, a hotel and a 'skyline' restaurant. It is the final phase of The Mailbox development.

Just arrived, a box of cheap 3x3x3 cubes (2 Euro per cube) to try some different mods.
While trying to disassemble one of them some of the pieces broke (very thin plastic...) but at least now I know how I can disassemble them without breaking any more pieces.
Good thing is that they turn rather good, especially if lubricated.
Look forward to some pictures of what will become of them :-)

Info
In July 2003, the Water Cube design was chosen from 10 proposals in an international architectural competition for the aquatic center project. The Water Cube was specially designed and built by a consortium made up of PTW Architects (an Australian architecture firm), Arup international engineering group, CSCEC (China State Construction Engineering Corporation), and CCDI (China Construction Design International) of Shanghai. The Water Cube's design was initiated by a team effort: the Chinese partners felt a square was more symbolic to Chinese culture and its relationship to the Bird's Nest stadium, while the Sydney based partners came up with the idea of covering the 'cube' with bubbles, symbolising water. It should be noted that contextually the cube symbolises earth whilst the circle (represented by the stadium) represents heaven. Hence symbolically the water cube references Chinese symbolic architecture.
Comprising a steel space frame, it is the largest ETFE clad structure in the world with over 100,000 m² of ETFE pillows that are only 0.2 mm (1/125 of an inch) in total thickness. The ETFE cladding allows more light and heat penetration than traditional glass, resulting in a 30% decrease in energy costs.
The outer wall is based on the Weaire–Phelan structure, a structure devised from the natural formation of bubbles in soap foam.[8] The complex Weaire–Phelan pattern was developed by slicing through bubbles in soap foam, resulting in more irregular, organic patterns than foam bubble structures proposed earlier by the scientist Kelvin.[6] Using the Weaire–Phelan geometry, the Water Cube's exterior cladding is made of 4,000 ETFE bubbles, some as large as 9.14 meters (30 feet) across, with seven different sizes for the roof and 15 for the walls.
The structure had a capacity of 17,000 during the games that is being reduced to 6,000. It also has a total land surface of 65,000 square meters and will cover a total of 32,000 square metres (7.9 acres). Although called the Water Cube, the aquatic center is really a rectangular box (cuboid)- 178 meters (584 feet) square and 31 meters (102 feet) high.

Three cubes with different width strips.
The grey doesn't match: wrong colour. So I made another one for a more harmonic series, see my stream....
Taking away pieces does not break the continuity of the connecting line, but it does change the geometry of the connections.

Purchased myself a little "nifty fifty" (Nikon 50mm 1:18G AF-S) lens today - my wife said I deserved it after my breakfast "episode" of yesterday!! Anyway, number 2 shot and I'm liking the feel of this great lens.

Art CUBE is a project that takes the common notion of the frame, a solid border that usually surrounds a picture or painting, and transforms this boundary into a temporary outdoor gallery space for Art Alliance Austin. This simple transformation is accomplished by extruding the frame and separating it into two halves. Next, one of the halves is rotated 90 degrees and then interlocked with the other half of the frame. The resulting gaps and spaces between the two pieces form the gallery enclosure and allow light and people to filter through the space. The result is a compact, yet sophisticated space that is secure and enhances the installation of work by selected artists.

Core Theatre, Corby Cube, seen here nearing completion. The orchestra pit is on a lift and can be raised to provide a flat floor from the rear of the stage to the rear of the stalls (once the raked bleacher seating has been retracted). The balconies and the 'cornice' are padded crimson brocade, which with the wooden panelling, should give the auditorium an excellent acoustic. It was beset with problems which took a decade to resolve.

This cube reminds me of a restaurant we used to have here on Beaverton-Hillsdale Hi-Way called Mr. Steak. It had big high backed booths oozing with 70's disco music and guys with mustaches!!!

From the series Cubes and lights.
You are getting to know me pretty well now, I've told you how much I love glass, you MUST know that I adore lights and you might have guessed that I'm a creative, who's ALWAYS thinking about the 'next' 'creation'.
So, I had bought seasonal baubles, had the cube and the tiny lights, put them together and this was the result.
Yes, with white baubles and lights.
Been doing it for years, each year a different colour theme, although for me the colours of Christmas are still red, green and white!
It is very decorative and you can put it anywhere!
I love creativity and versatility...
Hope you this warms up your day.
Thanx for visiting, Magda (*_*)
