The geek in me is not impressed, or maybe I just don't see how it is a puzzle. It reminds me a lot of the Key of Time from Doctor Who (Tom Baker era).

I don't think it's ever intended to be a puzzle. It's a "fun to play around with" item. Nicely put together, from what little the video can show, and not particularly astonishing to anyone over 10, but I'd definitely love to have one on my shelf for people who haven't seen them. I'd put it next to the hollow-face dragon.

It does look a little like the Key to Time. Would be interesting to see one in translucent plastic.

I see that the MoMA store sells them (www.momastore.org)

OMG Rubik's trapped in a tesseract!

We must rescue him!

At first I wasn't going to upvote...then I read the comments...and now I upvote to spite the "that's not amazingly awesome, so it must be fail, so I must withhold upvote" crowd ( ^ those guys).

Cool cube.

Actually, your post is fail. People can refrain from upvoting for many more reasons than the isn't-black-so-must-be-white polarized hyperbole stated above. Further, nowhere in siftrules did I see any "you must upvote before commenting" requirement.

That being said, I found it marginally interesting and thought I *had* upvoted this and found I did not, so gg on that, at least.

I also heard if you put the cube on a stack of papers, it will prevent them from blowing away.

I saw something similar (8 cubes that can roll around to make a rectangular solid or a cube) as a baby toy. The 8 cubes have pictures and you are able to "transform" it to change the scenery.

Love it!

Adding video to channels (Engineering) - requested by maatc.

And that is why the Japanese will create combat-ready transformers before we will.

I can think of a bunch of things on the Sift that would be more fun to play around with if I got my hands on them.

WTF!? this video is #1? I upvoted a QM comment? What is the world coming to?!

I kinda feel the same way. I almost killed this video because I doubted it was going to get sifted.

this is number 1 but beardo gets no love whatsoever? youre all a bunch of nerds.

It's a statistical outlier, I guess. Siftbot had an aneurysm or something.
