The Rubik’s Cube is a classic brain game for all ages, challenging players to line up a single color on each side.
The popular 3D puzzle has been recreated into a puzzle featuring dozens of cubes that look identical, but there’s one strange one in the group.
The goal is to spot the mismatched cube in less than 30 seconds, but only those with eagle eyes can spot it.
The popular 3D puzzle has been recreated into a puzzle featuring dozens of cubes that look identical, but there’s one strange one in the group. The goal is to spot the mismatched cube in less than 30 seconds, but only those with eagle eyes will be able to spot it.
The new puzzle was created by online gaming experts at mrq who said the puzzle “will leave even the most attentive viewers scratching their heads in anguish.”
“It takes the average person 30 seconds to find a Rubik’s cube, and one in three admits to having given up on finding the colorful cube altogether,” the company shared.
The Rubik’s Cube was invented by Hungarian design professor Erno Rubik in 1974, first calling it the Magic Cube, which was later renamed in 1980 by Ideal toy and novelty company.
The game hit stores around the world soon after and sold one hundred million in two years, making it the most popular puzzle game in history.
The 27 small cubes called “cubes” each have one of six colors and, when assembled, form a square.
The world record for solving the puzzle is 3.13 seconds.
California native Max Park set the record in 2023, surpassing the previous top speed of 3.47 seconds.
Park, who was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism as a child, has won more than 400 events against other “cubers.”
But Park is no match for a robot that solved a Rubik’s cube in just 0.305 seconds.

The technology was developed this year by a team of engineers at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
The robot has a set of motors that work in combination with each other to move the cube at lightning speed.
However, during the testing process, the team encountered an unexpected problem: the cube was struggling to keep up with the robot’s speed.
During the first official record attempt, the puzzle got stuck.
Fortunately, with some adjustments, the team was able to solve the problem and made it a second time.
