SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER: New Rubik's Cubes With Circular Spinning Dials

March 12, 2013 / adult toys (but not those kind of adult toys), breaking things, colors, expensive, i did learn the algorithm to solve regular rubik's cubes so that's pretty cool of me, mind teaser, rage for all ages, rubik's cube, shapes, smashing things, solving things (but not mysteries), sure why not, the wheels on the bus go round and round, toys

This is the $80 ROULETTE Wheel IQ Cube. It's like a Rubik's cube, but way more complicated because it has a wheel on each side. Wheels makes things harder. Except driving, they actually make driving easier. You ever had a steering wheel break off in your hands while you're doing donuts in a Wal-Mart parking lot? I took out the Salvation Army donation dumpster.

The Most Complicated! OR, The Most Fancy!? This IQ Cube Challenge of IQ Brick, common in 6-Surface Cube, 6-color surface. The Most Difference and Special, Each Surface has a ROULETTE! That means, Not only to accomplish each surface color, but the ROULETTE Color and Sequence Number! Rotating in each Roulette Surface, Moving IQ Cube in each Direction, Different Solving Skills. So, is it still a Fancy IQ Cube? Let's check it!

Jesus, that read just like a Geekologie article. I'm not sure if that's good or bad but -- oh, you're shaking your head no. I guess now would be a good time for a disclaimer. The views expressed by the Geekologie Writer do not reflect the views of Geekologie or its parent company and are actually the views of a powerful wizard who wills them into my fingertips through the use of unblockable telepathy.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots.

Thanks to Curt, who claims he could still solve one in under four-minutes and I accept that bet provided he lends me $20 first.

    UNSOLVABLE: The 17x17x17 Rubik's Cube
    January 31, 2011
    Obviously it's not unsolvable, it just takes longer. Like aging a fine wine or making love to yourself after a long, lonely night of whiskey drankin'. Using 3D printing technology, puzzle-maker Oskar van Deventer managed to create this insanely complex version of the cube.... / Continue →
  • Sure, Why Not?: Siamese Rubik's Cubes
    August 30, 2009
    As far as I know, these conjoined Rubik's cubes have existed forever but I wouldn't know because I have enough trouble with a regular one without removing all the stickers and then backing over it with my dad's truck while sobbing and subsequently taking out the mailbox. BOOM!... / Continue →
  • Tired Of Rubik's Cube? Try A Pentaminx
    March 4, 2009
    The Pentaminx is basically a Rubik's Cube on steroids. But not the oral ones -- I'm talking the kind you have to shoot into your buttcheeks. While the original design was created by Andrew Cormier, the completed Petaminx puzzle you see above was cast and hand-assembled by J... / Continue →

  • FAKE!!!!

    This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

    This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max saved Baja by working out the safe combination on a rubics cube.

    Daisy: An Incomplete History;

    It began with an article GW posted in Sept. 2008
    http://www.geekologie.com/2008...

    GW posted a clip of a movie "Never Back Down" that was shot with someone's low quality camera unknown to GW at the time. A few people realized this and commented about GW's mistake. Including Daisy.
    Daisy continued the format on almost every post for months. The format would always note a lack of credibility and an involvement of photo editing software. Followed by a reference to the film "Never Back Down".

    Geekologie Writer rarely if never acknowledges comments or those who post them in his articles however he did make a slight exception with the following. Which highlight Daisy's involvment with the blog at the time.

    and

    I don't believe that Daisy still posts after all these years however some have taken it upon themselves to uphold the tradition.

  • Closet Nerd

    And those "some" are kinda like the crazy chick in the Saw franchise
    .... just sayin

  • TBozzly

    Used to love the Daisy posts. Would like to think she's still out there somewhere, de-bunking internet myths using attention to detail and common sense.

  • Brant Alan

    Oh these are real easy to solve, all you have to do is never touch it. And then throw it in the garbage.

  • I do not want one. Haha

  • First
