If Like Myself,

you can not solve the Rubik cube,


you will find this 'impossible' one a nightmare, in fact even seasoned Rubik cubers will find this one a challenge,

at first glance it looks no different from the normal puzzle, but nearly all 54 facets are iridescent, meaning that they change color when looked at from different angles. That apparently makes it a lot harder to align all the colors, as the rules of the classic cube no longer apply.

according to the MegaHouse product page, all six sides of the Rubik’s Cube Impossible consist of eight iridescent facets and one facet that remains the same color regardless of the viewing angle. Apparently, the user has to use the fixed-color facet as a guide, and rotate the sides until all colors are the same, when seen from a certain angle,

according to IT Media, hardly anyone in the development team for the toy can solve it. Even Shuhei Omura, the 2009 Rubik’s Cube World Champion, and the director of Speed Cubing Japan, struggled with it, Omura said that he was overwhelmed by the difficulty of the Rubik’s Cube Impossible and even asked the development team to confirm that his prototype was not defective, but when he finally managed to solve it, he felt “a comfortable sense of accomplishment” for some one that is into the cube what a great present! The Rubik’s Cube Impossible is currently available via the MegaHouse website for 3,080 yen, at today's rate £19.46 or $24.10, but no indication if it can be shipped internationally, looking at the video there is no way I would even think about it!
