Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 23:37:38 +0100 It is one of a series of three that are on sale in the UK in the cheaper toy shops. They were mentioned on Cube-lovers in March. The big one that you have works pretty well and makes a handsome display object. There is also a normal-sized cube also with tiles that is about the most horrible to turn I have ever met - the shop-keeper even felt compelled to warn of the fact me in advance. Then there is also a key-ring sized cube (30 cm) which turns tolerably well and has conventional stickers, though not firmly stuck on, for only 73 pence in my local shop. Apparently the children like them because they are so easy to solve by rearranging the stickers.
