Because Regular Rubik's Cubes Weren't Hard Enough

    A little bit very much off-topic, but I thought the folks on this forum might appreciate this pretty awesome brainteaser

    Yu-Hsiang “Shaun” Chung is an artist specializing in typography. He made a movable wooden Rubik’s Cube that can be used as a stamp:
    Chinese has a long history with the printing. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented the paper. In 200 AD, the Chinese invention of Woodblock printing produced the world’s first print culture. In 1040, Bi Sheng invented the first known movable type technology. Therefore, I want to use a Chinese text for my cube. The text I used for my cube is called “Three Character Classic.” It is a traditional Chinese text that teaches young children to be a good person in the society. The text is written in triplets of characters for easy memorization, which is perfect for the cube since the cube is 3 by 3 on every side. The text is written by Wang Yinglin during the Song Dynasty, so I used a font called “Song,” which is correspond to the Song Dynasty when a distinctive printed style of regular script was developed. -Neatorama

    Hey,

    That's a awesome rubiks cube!

    I bet no one could figure that one out haha. I used to know this boy who could do it in less than 5 mins, he would always bring it to class and pratice his speed. I could never do the original ones even though I always want to atleat complete one lol.

    I guess usually give up when I start getting it too mixed up.

    Pretty cool stuff.

    That looks nice :) I really like the idea of wooden toys in general, and wooden cube puzzles are even better.

    I've recently started to get into Rubik's stuff. I missed the point of it the first time 'round, and just kinda bashed away at it.

    Since my childhood, I tried to solve Rubik's Cube. But due to my lack of inteligence, I could n't solve that.
    I realised from experience that I can't solve Rubik's Cube without knowing algorithm to solve it.
    Just recently, I solved rubik's cube from the videos I uploaded in the website.
    This wesite which is given below is easy to learn for any beginners, who don't have
    any idea for solving it.

    Considering it is Chinese, it will probably fall apart after first 5 twists.. You won't be able to solve it anyway.

    Don't think that chinese all duplicate. China only export 3rd quality items to other countries. But if you go china all items are original. They will not export their original goods to other countries. China is very developed country
