Editorial Review :
The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world's most perfect -- and addictive -- puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik's cube is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were seen solving it with their feet on "That's Incredible!", conspiracy theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.  | | Each side is just over 2", while each sticker is about ½" square. |
For all of the hullabaloo, the Rubik’s Cube actually has a pretty straightforward premise. The faces of the cube are covered by nine stickers in six solid colors (one for each 2.25" side); when the puzzle is solved, each face is one solid color. Then you realize as you turn the rows and columns and see all the colors flash by that there are 43 quintillion possible pattern combinations (that’s 43 million millions), but just one right one. Maybe Cubaholics Anonymous wasn’t such a bad idea after all….This Rubik’s Cube has reflective red, white, blue, yellow, green, and orange colored stickers with an official twenty-fifth anniversary sticker in the center white square. The cube is packaged in a clear hexagon box and includes a black display stand. There is also a solutions hint and game suggestion book, just in case.

Questions & Answers
Question : What is the key to solving slider puzzles?
I am doing the Monkey Madness quest on Runescape and I can not figure out how to do the puzzle! I am also not spending 200K just to have the puzzle done for me. Is there a secret or key to this slider puzzle? Everyone else says it is very easy to do the slider puzzle, but I just SUCK at slider puzzles. I REALLY need help. PELASE HELP!
Answer:
Tips1) Plan your moves in advance, you'll start seeing where exactly you need to move pieces to get it to match2) Try breaking it up to parts, don't try to complete the puzzle in 1 go. See if you can complete a corner.

Question : What are some more puzzles i can do in a Treasure hunt?
I'm putting together a treasure hunt and each step I would like to have a puzzle. One of the puzzles will be a soduko puzzle That they need to solve, then each number will correlate to letters. The next puzzle will be a crossword with the clue hidden inside of it. What other kind of puzzles can I do?
Answer:
Hi,This is a good idea, your treasure hunt. I suggest a word find where each word's initial letter is a letter in another word that you have to unscramble once all of the words are found and it would be a place in the house, or where ever it is you are having this. (in the word bank, you would have clues to the word they are trying to find in the puzzle instead of putting the words themselves there, that way you have to guess even more and it will tie into the complexity of the other puzzles.) hope this helps.

Question : What puzzles/activities help improve your lateral thinking and computation skills?
I'm trying to improve my thinking speed, memory recall and lateral thinking to improve my ability to perform in university exams (I do a very mathematical and intensive course). Apparently, puzzles and games can help. I just want to know which ones (you would understand if crosswords don't do 'jack').Sukudo's one of them, but what are the others?Unhelpful comments would be thumbed down.Cheers.
Answer:
sudoko's good but i also do brain traing on facebook which has a mixture of puzzles. 4 per test. i really think that will help with what your after. its available through facebook but probably elsewhere on the computer/internet free. hope this helpsjen

Question : What puzzles and activities do kids enjoy?
I need to design a fun activity sheet to keep kids occupied. I've made a spot the difference, a wordsearch and a maze but I'm running out of ideas. What other puzzles do kids enjoy? Any online links would be appreciated.
Answer:

Question : What age did your child put together jigsaw puzzles?
My son is 4 and loves to put together 150-200 piece puzzles. He will sit for hours on end and focus only on his puzzle. He was treated for speech problems at age 2-3. Is this normal for a four year old to concentrate so long? Do you think he is on the autism spectrum? Thanks.
Answer:
This one sign alone would not cause me to think he might be on the spectrum, although it is very unusual for a 4 year old to be interested in 200 pc puzzles for hours without wanting help/getting frustrated. I have an almost 5 year old who happens to be ahead of her peers intellectually, but she would NEVER spend hours on one puzzle. However, her sister who is 2 years younger and not nearly as ahead at this age, is MUCH better at puzzles than she is!Have you googled it and looked for other signs of autism or autism spectrum disorder? I understand your concern, but he could just be a very cognitive little boy! Apparently, my brother was playing chess with my dad by age 5 and was very good at it! He's not at all autistic, just very, very intelligent and very in to "mind" games (AKA the intellectual type). Maybe you just have a little "genius" on your hands!

Question : What are some puzzles like Sudoku that I can get online?
I like puzzles like Sudoku, Add Them Up (found in a newspaper), kakuro and anything like them. I also like the puzzles that you have to try and draw without taking your pencil off the paper.But I need them to be able to print off so I can do them away from the computer. Any websites that have any of these puzzles would be helpful. Or if you know anyother puzzles like these that would be fun you could mention them too.
Answer:
This site is GREAT!!! You can print them off and there are LOTS of them!. They are also grouped by easy, intermediate, hard, etc. I love Sudoku too.www.krazydad.com/sudokuThere are also other types of puzzles on there at:http://www.krazydad.com/puzzles/

Question : How do you complete the puzzles on Virtual Villagers 2?
I just got Virtual Villagers 2 yesterday and I am SO confused. How do you do the puzzles? I am already running low on the coconuts and the ocean is full of algae. Here are my questions...1. What are all of the puzzles?2. How do you complete all of them?3. How do you get a bigger population?4. How can I get another food source like crops or something? If someone could answer these then that would be awesome!
Answer:
Honestly, it would takes ages to answer all of that here, and certainly not off the top of my head. However, you will find those answers on the official site of Last Day of Work (the company that made the games). The puzzles and solutions are different depending on which version of VV you are playing, but each one has their forums, which include walkthroughs and guides that contain hints or, if you really need them, spoilers that actually tell you how to solve each puzzle.http://www.ldw.com/

Question : Is there something else I can use besides puzzle glue to hold my puzzles together?
A while back I was in Wal-Mart buying a puzzle and they had this stuff to hold your puzzles together but instead of being the regular glue it was like a big sticker sheet that you stuck to the back of the finished puzzle. I didn't buy it then and now I wish I had because since then I am unable to find it again. Has anybody ever heard of this stuff and do you know what its actually called?
Answer:
One alternative would be acrylic medium. It comes in mat and glossy. One would paint this on the finished puzzle sort of gluing it together.This is the stuff artists use when they want to thin the color of acrylic paint they are using but want more body than water.This can normally be found by the artist's paint section.

Question : Is there a systematic method to creating crossword puzzles? How about a software program?
How do they make all those sophisticated crossword puzzles in the newspapers and why do the blanks have symmetrical mirror images?
Answer:
There is software that makes them. There are websites were you can even make them yourself. http://www.edhelper.com/crossword.htm
