I imagine that this [Rubik's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallest-rubiks-cube) Brain Cube by Jason Freeny is nearly impossible to solve -- after all, each side is already the same color. This witty Rubik's Cube has the texture and color of a brain, putting an apt anatomical twist on one of the toughest [child's toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanoodle-dog-edition) to crack.

Although this Rubik's Cube is a fully functional piece of art, perhaps we'll soon see the Rubik's Brain Cube by Jason Freeny used as a learning tool in a brain surgery class.
