Groovik's Cube is an electronic Rubik's Cube controlled by three station 30 meters apart located 120° around the cube. Two of these stations are visible here. Each station controls only three out of the nine possible planes of rotation. Although the cube works like a regular Rubik's Cube, it was very challenging to solve because solving it required careful coordination of three faraway people in a noisy environment, and each person could see only half of the cube. It was solved about six times during the week. [079922]

'The Cube' is a distinctive piece of architecture on the Birmingham skyline. It is a particularly interesting building...whichever way you look at it...whether inside or out. In this image, the reflection is seen with a muted palette as the 'old' meets the 'new'.
"The archetypal Borg cube is a variety of immense, cubic starship that functions as part of the Borg Collective. It was first seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Q Who?" upon the Borg's first contact with the Federation Starfleet in 2365.
The cube appears to be the principal spacefaring unit of the collective; it is by far the most common Borg craft seen on-screen and the type of vessel used in both the episode "The Best of Both Worlds" and the film Star Trek: First Contact.
The only unifying principles in the design of a cube are its shape, a decentralized/generalized arrangement, a size of several thousand metres per edge, and a hosting of tens or hundreds of thousands of drones. Erin Hansen, the mother of the future Seven of Nine remarks that the cube they studied was 29 cubic km in volume. This number sizes the length, width, and height dimensions at over 3 km.
In Star Trek: First Contact, the atmospheric pressure aboard a Borg ship is described as being two kilopascals above what would be normal on a Federation starship, relative humidity is an average 92%, and its internal temperature is 39.1°C.
In terms of offense and defense, a Borg cube is a fleet in and of itself. Common capabilities of cubes include high warp (transwarp) capabilities, self-regeneration and multiple redundant systems, rapid adaptability to almost any assault, and various beam (tractor beams and cutting beams) and missile weapons. A single Borg cube has, on multiple occasions, taken on entire Federation fleets and held its own. Cubes have been known to carry sphere ships in cavities covered by large slide-away hatches in the outermost layers; however, it is unknown if this is common."
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.

Sonobe variant
Edit: Replace photo by a better one.
Not particularly impressed with the sonobe cubes, I took the tinier pieces and folded a tiny Paul Jackson cube. The paper was so flimsy the modules seemed to melt in my hand, but noticing how thick the edges were, I remembered the concept of selective compression from my model train days, so I imagined a miniature version of the Mondrian Cube using stripes applied to the modules before assembly. The packaging for the paper had a strip of glossy paper just long enough to fold into six modules with a couple extra to play with. I tried cutting rectangles of washi tape and laying on the surface, but they looked just like that. It might have worked if the cube was constructed of black paper and the squares carefully cut. Then I thought to wrap the tape on the modules so it disappeared into the folds. It doesn't look too bad and gives the illusion of being folded from modules. All of my scraps of inferior paper are now thoroughly recycled.
Taking away pieces does not break the continuity of the connecting line, but it does change the geometry of the connections.
The Cube ("Kuub") is an extension (theatre, gigs, workshops) of our prestigious and pretty well known CC De Warande, were they are building an underground parking now.

Assembled into a cube like described on p. 21.. Here one sees the variant of Stern Nicola with a flat middle part.
