I’ll admit I’ve spent a fair amount of time in my short life so far trying to solve the Rubik’s Cube. I admit it — that damn cube beats me every time. My biggest problem is I lose my patience — fast. As little as 5-10 minutes into my mind game, I get so fed up that I literally want to hurl that stupid block of colors into the next continent. Maybe, just maybe if I had a Rubik’s Cube more to more liking I might do a better job, huh?
The Keyboard Rubik’s Cube is just the ticket. Designed with the ultra geek in mind, the Keyboard Rubik’s Cube is the cube I’d pick. Why? The keys are so large that actually messing up this little beauty only have to resolve it is a slim chance. Any Rubik’s Cube I don’t have to solve is a good Rubik’s Cube. Sign me up!
So if you’re bored this weekend, take nine keyboards under the knife and create something truly unique.
Of all things to spend $30,000 (thirty thousand) on, a brain puzzle hardly makes it to the top of my list. But to each his own. Some prefer brain food to real food or gadgets. It’s hard to fathom really. But there are other things in life besides electronics I guess…
So what does a $30,000 mind game look like? Just like the “Superplexus” globe-o-mass-confusion above you. If you’re even beginning to think you could solve this gargantuan puzzle, give the below excerpt from the manufacturers page a read before you make any final conclusions…
The labyrinth is set inside a 36? diameter acrylic sphere affixed to a Jatoba base using a stainless steel gimbaled mount that allows you to tilt the sphere in any direction to guide the marble. The entire track laid out on a straight line is 31? longer than a football field. In addition to the track, the ball must travel on a 1/16? diameter stainless steel wire pathway at eight points along the journey. A series of directional arrows indicate the course to follow, and successful completion requires a minimum of 425 turns (plane changes) of the sphere–without letting the marble fall off the track. Each Superplexus’ difficulty level can be customized.
Holy hell! a 331′ long wooden trail full of holes, turns, and treacherous 1/16 wide paths to navigate. Psh, F that. I’d die next to stupid thing spinning and spinning until my arms fell off. For some, that’s a challenge worth accepting.
After taking it all in, I can definitely admire the work that not only went into a puzzle (a mind murdering puzzle at that) but into a piece of art as well. At the very least, if you never solve it (which you probably never will, trust me) you’ve at least got one of the coolest center pieces to stick in your living room.
Think you can do it? Hell, I’m still stuck on that whole “it’s 31′ longer than a football field” verbiage…
No it’s not a stroke or play on a stroke. What it is, is a highly addicting game. The concept is simple: navigate your orb around and avoid the growing number of multi-color “hater” orbs coming at it. The developer ties the game in with a theory that the human mind can only track up to 8 things at once. Is it true? I spent some time on dear friend Google and saw varying numbers from 5-20 and so on. I think it’s highly subjective and varies form person to person. Science theory aside, the game is awesome. One that will keep you busy for multiple hours with 15 different levels featuring increasingly difficult gameplay.
One helpful feature is the ability to rewind a few seconds back in time. Playing a game for an extended period of time and getting to the last level only to come this close to winning and ultimately have our victory cut short is both a pain and frustrating. The rewind feature allows us to redo our small mistakes. A valuable feature for sure. It’s only $0.99 and will keep you busy longer than many games 2x-3x as much. Think it’s worth a shot?
