    The thing weighs 3kg! Maybe you could build up your wrist muscles while solving this thing.

    He hasn't created a working Rubix cube. The gigantic monstrosity which requires belts on every movement layer to prevent it falling apart is not a working Rubix cube. At best, and the site openly admits this, it is a model or a prototype.

    What is more fun is to just swap a few stickers, then give it to someone who claims they can solve the cube. Usually if you swap a few stickers you'll make a new unsolvable problem (it isn't possible to get from any cube to the solution ^_^ )

    Why would you peel off the stickers when you can take it apart and rearrange it?

    While the physical cube can currently not be built, you can solve it through the portal of your computer screen. Try it: Magic Cube 4D
