Rubik does it again!

Remember Rubik's Cube?




Hungarian inventor Ernõ Rubik launched it on an unsuspecting world in 1974, and it's been baffling brains (and twisting fingers) ever since.

Now he's come up with another baffler. According to Wired:

Dubbed the Rubik's 360, the puzzle consists of six colored balls contained in three transparent plastic spheres. The objective is to move the balls from the inner sphere into their matching colored slots in the outer sphere.

"I feel that 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," Rubik said in a statement.

Rubik added that the game is "a more kinetic challenge, more physical, because gravity is involved, so those expecting a brainteaser might be better served rifling through the bottom drawer for the original Rubik’s Cube."

Hitting stores this July, the Rubik's 360 will cost about $15.

Here's a video of someone examining one of the first examples.

Looks like fun!
