Rubik's Cunbe Erno Rubik to release Rubik's 360
THE man who invented Rubik's Cube almost 30 years ago has come up with a maddening new challenge.
Rubik's 360 involves moving plastic balls through a set of transparent spheres.
Prof Erno Rubik, 64, a reclusive Hungarian, said the new puzzle was as good as his original cube.
"The 360 is one of the most innovative and exciting puzzles we've developed since the cube, adopting elements of my original design, challenging the solver to use skill, dexterity and logic."
The Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974, but was not released until 1980 when it became a phenomenon. Sales have risen again in recent years with internet tutorials helping to revive interest.
Fans of the original are eagerly awaiting the launch of the new puzzle.
The Rubik's Cube world champion is Dutch teenager Eric Akkersdijk, who completed the puzzle in just 7.08 seconds.
The slowest Cube solver is believed to be Graham Parker, 45, from Portchester, Hampshire, in England.
He finished this year after 26 years.
The Rubik's 360 goes on sale later this year.
