The Devil Reincarnate... torments people for hours at hand trying to fix the impossible to solve cube.

A toy that became very popular in the 1980's. You twist and turn the cube until its all jumbled up. Then you try and solve it and after 5 minuets, you get mad, throw it in your closet, and move on. It's still popular to this day.

When you buy one, take a good fucking look at it because you will NEVER (and I fucking mean EVER) see it like that again. 300,000,000 (three hundred million) have been sold worldwide since 1980 (100,000,000 from '80-'82), making it the best selling individual toy ever. David Singmaster and Alexander Frey developed a way to solve the puzzle in 25 moves (using computers). It is probably the only puzzle-toy that people have written books about (including the one written by a 12 year old boy that sold 1.5 million copies). Frank Morris holds the record for the fast solving: 15 seconds flat!
The Rubik's cube has been said to have billions of numbers of combinations. But it has also been said to have 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations (I didn't make that up!). How does anyone comprehend that number?!?!
The Rubik's cube is why my sister committed suicide.

1) A puzzle invented by Hungarian professor Erno Rubik that swept the world by storm in the early 1980s and continues to carry a steady following.

To pour six cans of paint on your head (each of them representing colors on an actual Rubik's Cube), which you penetrate your girlfriend's ass and vagina with (either order is fine) while ramming it as far up as possible and violently nodding during both processes for maximum pleasure. Consent is not required.

An awesome puzzle made from a number of small cubes ("cubies") slotted together around a pivot mechanism, which can allow rotation of the cubies. The classic 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube is three cubies in width, length and depth, although there are many other variants of the cube (e.g. 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x cubes as well as the "-minx" puzzles).
The cubies have coloured stickers on them: once they have been rotated to random points around the cube (via 'scrambling'), the object of the puzzle is to make each of the cube's faces all one colour, with all of the cubies correctly oriented.
There are a number of different formulae which can be used to solve the Rubik's Cube, using different combinations of rotations called algorithms. The beginners' one is the 'Layer Method,' which consists of solving 1 layer at a time. It is a simple but relatively slow method. Advanced methods, used by "Speedcubers," have more complex algorithms, but they can be used to solve the cube faster. Some of these methods include the 'Fridrich Method,' the 'Petrus Method,' and the 'Roux Method.'

The current record for the fastest solve of the Rubik's Cube is 7.08 seconds, held by Erik Akkersdijk.
