The giant art-meets-science installation will premiere at LSC in spring 2014, on the 40th anniversary of the invention of Rubik's Cube. It will be the centerpiece of "Beyond Rubik's Cube," a 7,000-square-foot exhibition designed to celebrate the world's most popular puzzle and the many cool things the Cube has inspired in robotics, engineering, mathematics, design, art and film.</div>

The funding will help LSC create a new and improved version to be installed outdoors where it will be viewable from NJ and <span class="xn-location" itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Place">NYC</span> for nine months before it begins a world tour alongside the traveling exhibition.</div>

Perks for donors exist at every level and range from posters <span class="xn-money">($25)</span> and t-shirts <span class="xn-money">($35)</span>, to exhibition preview events and the opportunity to help install the Groovik's Cube (<span class="xn-money">$25,000</span> each).

Based on the famous Rubik's Cube, the Rubik's Revolution offers six fast-paced electronic games packed in one cube with lights, sound effects, and increased levels to keep you playing this gadget for hours. Rewarding fast hands and fast thinking, this electronic toy is recommended for all ages 5 and older.</p><p><strong>Spin On A Classic Game<br /></strong>Built in the exact shape and size of the original Rubik's Cube, the Rubik's Revolution features six different colored sides -- each with its own game. Unlike the original toy, the sides of this plastic cube don't rotate to solve a single puzzle. Instead, each fixed face of the cube has a lighted button in its center square. When you turn on this electronic toy, the talking cube asks you to press a color button for one of the six games. This robotic woman's voice also calls out the colors and gives you your score at the end.<br /><br /><strong>6 Fast-Paced Games</strong><br />"Light Speed" requires you to turn off the lighted cube lights as they pop up. The faster you can do it the greater the challenge and the better your score will be. In "Rapid Recharge" it's your mission to light up the entire cube at once -- and quickly -- before the squares fade out.<br /><br />Like the memorable game of Simon, "Pattern Panic" challenges you to memorize and repeat a growing sequence of lights. Logic and reason could help you crack the secret code in "Code Cracker," while "Cube Catcher" is a race against the clock to turn off as many lights as possible. Last but not least, "Multiplayer Madness" lets you compete against your friends. Passing the cube back and forth, you have to turn the lights off faster and faster before time runs out. The last player not eliminated is the winner.<br /><br /><strong>Fun, Easy, and Addictive</strong><br />Caution: this fun cube game may be addictive. While the hard plastic cube holds up to heavy use, including the occasional fall as players pass it back and forth in "Multiplayer Madness," the holographic colored squares can start peeling back without much effort. If this happen, kids should ask their parents to glue or tape the squares back down. While the Rubik's Revolution is easy to learn -- mastering the toy is another story. But unlike the classic Rubik's Cube, which isn't for everyone, just about anybody can and will get better and better at this game with a little practice. </p><p>Product DescriptionTest your speed and smarts with this new spin on the world's #1 cube game.<br />An electronic version of the best-selling Rubik's Cube </p><p>Multiple challenging levels</p><ul><li>6 addictive, fast-paced electronic games in one </li><li>Games include Light Speed, Rapid Recharge, Pattern Panic, Code Cracker, Multiplayer Madness and Cube Catcher </li><li>Features lights and sound effects </li><li>Conquer one level and the cube unlocks another</li><li>Take your cube concentration to the next level – but watch out, you may not be able to put it down!</li></ul><p>Safety warning: This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard for young children. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer">see http://www.HungarianBookstore.com</div>Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17342852760288011089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405905314570839365.post-14910311906322492332007-12-25T09:28:00.000-08:002007-12-25T09:31:44.831-08:00Jello Rubik's CubeNo, we have not found one.
