Rubik’s 360 Madness | News, reviews and videos

Most of you will have spotted this news over the last couple of days on the web already, but for those that havent here is a video of Rubik’s TouchCube.

Here is a short video that I spotted on youtube today on how to solve the Rubik 360. I think its from the people that posted the CBC hands on Rubik 360 video earlier this week.

This is way funnier though. It shows a technique for solving the Rubik 360 know as “luck” rather then “skill”.

I’ll probably be proven wrong on this one and this guy replicates his technique and perfects it until he is world champion speed 360′ing (hmmm does not work as well as “speedcubing“).

It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to solve it by just shaking and shaking. The inner sphere is weighted with the exit hole at the top, so you need to get it spinning in order for the coloured balls to work their way out. Check the video after the break.

Just spotted this on you tube. Its the best Rubik’s 360 video by a mile. A full 5m of close up action showing all facets of the 360. Unfortunately no spoken words, just some song.

A video just posted online by www.time.com which is an interview with Erno Rubik. It covers the history of the Cube, and from about 3m30s he talks about the Rubik 360. Unfortunately I cant embed the video as yet, but I am sure I will locate a copy soon.

Update 21:46, Feb 5

The same video has now been posted on youtube and embeded below for your viewing pleasure.

A second video showed up. Its easier to see how the Rubik 360 works and what you need to do to solve it.
