A Rubik's Cube for the Blind

You can design a Rubik's Cube with Braille letters to signify colors. Doing so, howevever, presents a problem:

But when you turn a braille letter upside down, it becomes a different braille letter. So as the user rotates the cube it becomes impossible to read the colors.

Brian Doom solved that problem by giving a cube six distinct textures, each of which represents a color.

That is such a fantastic idea! I immediately pictured the cube at the various stages when you're solving it- all the corners correct; the top and bottom sides and top 2 rows on the other sides correct; top and bottom sides correct and all the squares but one on each of the other 4 sides correct; and so on. Love the mental image of texture as opposed to color and the patterns they would create!

The word looks like pamplemousse, the French word for grapefruit, but it's spelled so that when you say it, you pronounce it the French way.

If I am randomly selected I would choose the Android mini squishable http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Android-Mini-Squishable and I'd give it to my mom because she just recently got an Android phone and it's all she wants to talk about.

The band name, Pomplamoose, is a homophone for the French word for grapefruit. And it took some effort not to end up using the same words as everyone else.

The name "pomplamoose" is a phonetic variant of the word "pamplemousse", the French word for "grapefruit".

"Pomplamoose," the name of the group, sounds like "Pamplemousse," the French word for grapefruit.
