Rubik Cube - everyone should know what this is - the bestselling puzzle in history.

Getting the cube back to its original position (so that all nine squares of the same color make up each face) is incredibly challenging for most, though it can be mastered and solved. This product comes with a solution hints booklet, which examines the cube's properties and offers clues for solving the puzzle.

If you are giving this to your kid as Christmas gift, make sure you learn how to solve it first.. here are two videos that teach you how to solve Rubik Cube :D
