    That’s awesome… I have to know how it works. I have a few Rubik’s cubes and learnt how to solve it recently. I got my solve time down to about 2.5 minutes before the novelty wore off 🙂

    Ah – I think I get it. The clue is in the name, right? So it’s put together pretty much the same way as a regular 3x3x3 cube and the corner pieces all connect in the centre of the device…and the centre cube is a bit flexible (or ‘floppy’) to allow the mechanism to slide around in all directions. I’m not describing it well but I think I understand it 🙂

    Yup. The center cube is indeed a bit “floppy” so the corners are always a little connected to the center. Congrats on figuring it out. =)
