As if a regular Rubik's Cube was not hard enough, the inventor of the classic game, Erno Rubik, is about to release his next puzzle game: the Rubik's 360. Cubes are a thing of the past! This spherical puzzle is transparent and unsurprisingly, a lot harder to solve than the traditional Rubik's Cube.
The toy will arrive in retail stores this summer. You better prepare your noodle for a good challenge until then!
Implications - With the recent proliferation of mind-numbing entertainment saturating North American media outlets, consumers are demanding products which challenge them on a cognitive level. As such, corporations will find that it is now most opportune to release products which challenge the mental abilities of consumers.
