I bought one at http://www.audiocubes.com/category/Lifestyle.html but it was $35 plus $10 S&H. It was worth it, though. Awesome puzzle.

http://www.audiocubes.com also has the very important Gun O’Clock, an alarm clock you shoot. Instant awesome.

The bit about the knife wasn’t when he was cutting; rather, it was the way he held it in his hand when he was trying to open the box. Ideally he should have put it down on the desk.

What I most appreciated was the full minute he filmed of removing the cube from its box. That’s the most important (and exciting) part.

Ok, I’ll bite. Where do you get one?

I agree with snarf, he used the knife rather carefully, just to cut the pieces of tape on the top of the box. He wasn’t slicing the entire box apart with it, although it did look like it at times.

That cube is ridiculous, I don’t even know how I’d begin to start solving it. You can’t distinguish between pieces from two different faces while it’s mixed up.

Is it just me or is that exactly what you use a knife for? I don’t get the weird responses to the fact that he uses a knife to open this box? This kind of stuff is ALWAYS packed in such an annoying way. Compared to how I would have gone about it I’d say he’s very very easy on the knife. I would have torn that silly box to shreds … but thats just me.

looked easier than the regular cube but he got it pretty scrambled by the end, could be a nice little challenge

I am an avid puzzler myself, and I have never seen something like this. I can’t wait to own one!

WOW! Fast action on the normal Rubik’s cube! Astounding.

I guess some people will film just about anything. Waste of time.

Holy crap at about 2:30. I could watch that all day.

I solved one, once. Took me several weeks of steadily working at it. Then I bought a book that told he how to do it. I got down to about 2 minutes.

Egads! What’s with that knife? Keep that boy out of the kitchen.

I never get the appeal of Rubik’s cube. Nobody I know has ever solved it, but they keep buying a new one every few years.
