I love the cube, but the one I purchased lasted all of 2 days. The stickers (especially the green ones) started coming off. I have had to paint them once the stickers came of. The cube it self is of good quality, I just dont understand why they had to use stickers instead of having the colors painted onto the cube.

The challenge of Rubik's Cube is simple to explain: take the 3 X 3 X 3 cube (54 squares) of scrambled colored tiles and twist, turn, and rotate the sections until you arrive at a cube with each side having all tiles the same color. Deceptively simple. The task actually requires good spacial reasoning and mental imagery (right cerebral hemisphere) combined with strong nonverbal logic (left cerebral hemisphere), as well as good fine motor control and enduring patience. Some players will be tempted to expedite the process through creative methods (Xacto knife and Super Glue to remove and repaste the tiles), some will seek even quicker means to ease their frustration (ball peen hammer), and others will choose to purchase the monochromatic version of Rubik's Cube and enjoy the Zen-like peace of a conflict artfully avoided.Rubik's Cube is nearly indestructible (I've seen very strenuous attempts fail utterly) and, for those who do master the main solution, the instruction book offers other challenges (e.g., rearrange the cube so that each side has a center square of one color and all other squares a second color). Is this product fun? I think that many players will enjoy the Cube greatly until they first solve it, and then put it on display in a convenient spot for purposes of tormenting peers. Enthusiasts will continually re-scramble and re-solve Rubik's Cube, just as cats will endlessly swat at dangling bits of yarn. Fanatics (a.k.a. "true lovers of the game") will try the alternative solutions. Dolphins tend to enjoy Rubik's Cube as a tool for removing dental tartar. *gnaws on the yellow and green sides of an already well-gnawed cube*
 Fun for the whole family Just remember to leave the stickers November 9, 2005

Make sure the kids know not to take the stickers off and you will be fine.I bought this and was surprised to find that it is an anniversary edition, or something like that. I have been looking in all the bloke shops and game shops and other usual suspects with no luck, so was pleased to find it here. Don't even waste your time looking in shops... they are not selling it. Buy it here, get your kids hooked, and hope the stickers stay on this time long enough for you to remember the solution.

The old classic is back. I can't believe it was 25 years ago. I have just bought a new one and have it on my desk now, it is still as difficult as it always was, two sides is my max. I would also recommend the other fantastic Rubiks puzzles. These are very educational developing one's brain and intelligence, and puzzle solving ability.
