Rubik's Cube - Rare "Wonderful
Puzzler" in original Box
Here you can buy a rare "Wonderful
Puzzler" Rubicks Cube in its original package.
It was made in Taiwan in the early 1980s during the
Cold War era by diversified Rubik's patent because of
the game's popularity. This Clone has the same quality like the original ARXON
cubes. One distinct bonus of these original cubes (unlike modern versions) is that the tension of the cube can easily be adjusted. Slowly start to peel away a centre sticker. You will find that the plastic "cap" comes away as you do this.
It seems to be unused, comes solved - Excellent/Mint
condition. See the photos.
Good quality early 80's Wonderful Puzzler magic cubes.
Strong thick plastic, screws that let you adjust the
tension, springs and good vinyl stickers. This cube
rotates smoothly and is in unused condition. They're
not official Rubik's but Wonderful Puzzler cubes, though
much better quality than today's clones. No additional
postage for additional cubes, up till three or four
it costs me the same anyway and above that it's not
much more.
This item would make a tremendous gift for or would
be a fantastic addition to any collection - get this
excellent piece here for a great price! The original
cube is a collectors item and has found its way to the
actual MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York! Photo

The Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik,
a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture with
an interest in geometry and the study of 3D forms. Erno
obtained Hungarian patent HU170062 for the "Magic
Cube" in 1975, but did not take out international
patents. The first test batches of the product were
produced in late 1977 and released to Budapest toy shops,
although it did not enter the United States or Japan
until 1980. Rubik meant to create the challenging cube
with parts able to move around a center axis. He painted
the faces of the cube different colors for demonstration
purposes.
"It was wonderful, to see how, after only a
few turns, the colors became mixed, apparently in
random fashion. It was tremendously satisfying to
watch this color parade. Like after a nice walk when
you have seen many lovely sights you decide to go
home, after a while I decided it was time to go home,
let us put the cubes back in order. And it was at
that moment that I came face to face with the Big
Challenge: What is the way home?" - Erno Rubik

Some 300 million cubes have been sold
worldwide since 1980. In Japan, 100,000 to 150,000 Rubik's
cubes are sold annually, but sales this year are expected
to top 500,000. The Rubik's Cube reached the height
of its popularity in the early 1980s, and has since
become a pop culture icon associated with the decade.
It is said to be the world's biggest selling toy. Erno
Rubik became the first self-made millionaire from the
communist block. The eighties and Rubik's Cube went
well together. Cubic Rubes (the name of cube fans) formed
clubs to play and study solutions.
Rubik's Cube - Seltener "Wonderful
Puzzler" in original Box
Hier gibt es die sehr seltene Gelegenheit einen "Wonderful
Puzzler" Cube aus den 1980er Jahren zu kaufen.
Der Cube ist in gutem Zustand, sowie auch die original
Verpackung (siehe Photo des Cubes).
Der Zauberwürfel scheint ungenutzt, er ist noch

die aktuelle MoMA Ausstellung (Museum of Modern Art)
in New York geschafft, sehen Sie hier ein Photo
des MoMA Cubes (nicht der Cube im Angebot!).
Theoretisch gibt es für einen 3x3x3-Würfel
54!/(9!*9!*9!*9!*9!*9!) = 1,10exp(38) Kombinationen
der 54 Quadrate. Der Zauberwürfel hat "nur"
8!*3exp(8)*12!*2exp(12) = 519.024.039.293.878.272.000

nimmt und neu zusammensetzt. Der zwölfte Teil,
