Editorial Review :
The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world's most perfect -- and addictive -- puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik's cube is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were seen solving it with their feet on "That's Incredible!", conspiracy theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.  | | Each side is just over 2", while each sticker is about ½" square. |
For all of the hullabaloo, the Rubik’s Cube actually has a pretty straightforward premise. The faces of the cube are covered by nine stickers in six solid colors (one for each 2.25" side); when the puzzle is solved, each face is one solid color. Then you realize as you turn the rows and columns and see all the colors flash by that there are 43 quintillion possible pattern combinations (that’s 43 million millions), but just one right one. Maybe Cubaholics Anonymous wasn’t such a bad idea after all….This Rubik’s Cube has reflective red, white, blue, yellow, green, and orange colored stickers with an official twenty-fifth anniversary sticker in the center white square. The cube is packaged in a clear hexagon box and includes a black display stand. There is also a solutions hint and game suggestion book, just in case.

Questions & Answers
Question : What is the name for this specific type of brain teaser?
I'm looking for the actual name of the brain puzzles that are written in a square. There are usually a few words inside it, and you have to figure out what the phrase is (you have to look at the size of the words, if they are repeated, their position in the box, etc). Here are some examples of the type of puzzle I'm talking about: http://www.joe-ks.com/outside/Outside_The_Box_Puzzle.htm. I thought as a kid that I had a book of them, and their name started with an "R." I've searched online to see if I can find what they're called, and I can't find it! Do you know? Thanks!Sorry, I guess the link doesn't work...

Question : Magic Square Brain Teaser Problem---PLEASE HELP?
My son has recieved a 9 box puzzle to solve. It has 3 rows across anddown. He is to use only the numbers 1-9 (one time each) to get theanswer. The boxes are lettered across the top row as A, B, C,The boxes in the middle row are lettered D, E, F, and the boxes on thebottom row are lettered G, H, I.The problem is that the teacher has told them that in order to have iscompleted correct the following must be true:the sum of boxes A, B, D, E must be 13the sum of boxes D, E, G, H must be 24the sum of boxes B, C, E, F must be 21the sum of boxes E, F, H, I must be 18We have worked on for a while and can get all to work except 1 setevery time. Can you help us?
Answer:
First, this isn't truly a "magic square" because the rows and columns don't add up to the same sums. If you assume that, you get to an erroneous result.You are given the sums for each of the quadrants:ABDE = upper left = 13DEGH = lower left = 24BCEF = upper right = 21EFHI = lower right = 18First thing to notice is that if you add the opposite quadrants (say lower left and upper right) you end up with:D + E + G + H + B + C + E + F = 24 + 21 = 45You also know that all the squares add up to 45 (because 1 + 2 + ... + 9 = 45):Write these two equations:A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I = 45B + C + D + 2E + F + G + H = 45Subtracting you get:A - E + I = 0A + I = EE = A + IIn other words, E is the sum of A and I.Do the same with the other diagonal quadrants:A + B + D + 2E + F + H + I = 13 + 18 = 31A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I = 45Subtracting:E - C - G = 31 - 45E - C - G = -14E = C + G - 14So you have E being the sum of two digits (A + I)and also 14 less than the sum of two other digits (C + G - 14).The smallest sum you can create with two digits is 1 + 2 = 3The largest sum you can create with two digits is 8 + 9 = 17The difference is 14.The only way for E to both be the sum of two digits (A + I) and 14 less than the sum of two other digits (C + G) is if E is 3. That means that A and I are each 1 or 2, and C and G are each 8 or 9.So far you have:A B CD 3 FG H IA,I = [1,2]C,G = [8,9]Looking at the lower right square:E + F + H + I = 18E is 3F + H + I = 15I is 1 or 2F + H is 14 or 13.You can't use 8 or 9, because they are already used. You can't use 7+7 = 14, because that would repeat a digit. So F and H must be 7 and 6 and I must be 2.So far you have:1 B CD 3 FG H 2C,G = [8,9]F,H = [6,7]B,D = [4,5]We know that D + E + G + H = 24And since E = 3, D + G + H = 21If G is 8 or 9, then D + H = 13 or 12.Possible values for D and H are:D = [4,5]H = [6,7]We can't make a sum of 13, only 12 (D = 5, H = 7). So G must be 9, C must be 8, H must be 7, D must be 5, B is 4 and F is 6.Answer:1 4 85 3 69 7 2

Question : whats the answer to the brain teaser digits in a box.?
How To Play. DIGITS IN A BOX is one of those puzzles for which it is very easy to explain what you are supposed to do; actually doing it is the hard part. There are ten plastic pieces (each shaped as one of the digits 0-9). You simply take them out of the box (don't memorize the configuration as it come out -- that's no fun!), separate them (maybe put them in numerical order), and then try to get them back into the box so that the lid closes shut.More Details. There will be spaces in the box when you find a solution (18 unit gaps), you are not trying to build a solid cube. Each piece is designed to be bounded by a 1×3×5 volume, and the box is a 5×5×5 volume (so each number is as tall as each of the box's dimensions).
Answer:
Answer would be 15

Question : What are the brain teasers called when they have pictures and you have to figure out what the picture says? ?
For example, there's a picture of a Christmas present and on the present it says "1 box of Joy" and on the tag it says, "to: the world" and the answer would be "Joy to the World". Where can I find more puzzles like these?
Answer:
I think it's called a "rebus"? Google rebus, see what you get..

Question : What kind of puzzles/brain teasers are these?
Like the one in this picture:http://i37.tinypic.com/15zid0y.pngThe answer to that one is "Leftovers" (2 overs, to the left of the box, get it?)I know there's a name for them, but I can't remember.
Answer:
Leftover and overdose,, as dos is spanish term for two!=)

Question : Math puzzles/brain teasers.?
There are puzzles that you have to draw but you can't pick up your pen and you can't go over any lines that have already been drawn. I'm wondering if these have a particular name. There is one where it is a box with two diagonals and a triangle on top (like a house). I also know of one with the box and diagonals and 4 half circles on each side. If this has a name or you know how to solve it- please let me know.
Answer:
I don't know if these puzzles have a specific name, but you can use Euler's rule to find out if it is possible, without having to even pick up a pen. Just count the number of spots where an odd number of lines meet. If there is none or two of them, it can be done. If not, it's impossible.. I think I know how to solve the first one you mentionedThe second one, as far as I know is impossible
