It’s called Rubik’s 360, and is in fact a sphere and not a cube anymore! To be more precise, this new wonder is composed of three spheres, that contain six balls, which you have to move all the way to the outer shell, and place them in their corresponding places. This new creation is less complicated, from the mathematical standpoint, than the original cube, and there are no mathematic algorithms involved in any of it’s solutions, but this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t represent any challenge. By the looks of it, and by what the demonstration video shows, it’s evident that it’s quite easy to spend a lot of time to solve this new puzzle.

If the release dates advertised can be trusted, we will be able to try it out sometime in August this year, and then find out if it can really be crowned as the true successor to the legendary cube. Until then, enjoy this demonstration video:
