nusrn TIONS3' RUBIK LEAVES MANY PUZZLED by Kandee Reiminger One out of 43,000,000,000,000,000,000. That's not the odds for winning the latest fast-food restaurant game or the Cardinals, chances chances at winning the Super Bowl. It's the odds of getting the correct combination to the year's biggest selling and most frustrating puzzle - the Rubik's Cube. Developed by Hungarian architect Erno Rubik, the 2 3f16 cube is comprised of 26 subcubes. The subcubes rotate on horizontal and vertical axes with the object being to get the same color on each of the six sides. Of course, with any great fad come those who try to capitalize on the idea - from those who make the cheaper imitation 'tCube Puzzlen to the authors of books disclosing the solution. There are also K keychains, necklaces, rings and books dealing with such prevalent topics as How to Deal with the Cube-aholic and N101 Uses for a Dead Cubei' available for the avid cubist . A common observation by psychologists concluded that children fwho were much less apt to get frustratedj were able to solve the puzzle more easily than adults. Contests were held locally and nationwide to determine the fastest at solving the cube. Even with the frustrations that accompanied the craze, People Magazine reported in May 1980 that 4.5 million Rubikis cubes had been sold in the United States alone. It was estimated that close to 10 million have been sold by this year. However, like solving any great mystery, the status of conquering the cube seemed to make all the sweat worthwhile. i FRUSTRATIONS ABOUND WITH every twist 1 and turn as Elaine Waldeman tests her wit, CONQUERING THE CUBE was surely worth more than 81.99 and Mastering the Cube in addition to other books disclosing the solution sold nearly as well as the cubes.
