The impossible Cube

Advantages: Mental Challenge
Disadvantages: Impossible!!!

The Rubik's cube was invented in the 1980's by Erno Rubik who used to teach in a school at Budapest. He invented this cube to help students learn about geometry but he then decided to sell this cube as a brain challenging toy. As soon as this toy came out thousands of people went to buy in what is now called the Rubik craze. Nearly thirty years on this toy is still a huge success. The object is actually quite simple. You have a cube with 6 faces divided into nine segments. Each of the nine segments is in one of six colours. Now all you need to do is make all six faces the same colour and you have solved the Rubik's cube. The only problem of course is that it is a teensy bit harder than it sounds. Personally I struggle to do 1 colour and don't know anyone who has done more than two sides at any one time. So you might ask is there any ...

Review of Original Rubik's Cube

No you're a Cube

Advantages: Great characters
Disadvantages: Not for all

The Science Fiction/Horror combo is one of my favourite genres of film, I just can't get enough of the Alien series and others like Sphere etc. So I just had to see Cube. The film starts with a guy inside a square room on his own he moves to a small square doors in the middle of one of the walls and passes into the next room which is identical but for the colour. Nothing strange yet, but then there is a quick swishing noise and the man freezes. A trickle of blood is soon followed by many more as lines appear all over his body were he has been quickly sliced by a wire mesh. His body then falls apart gruesomely onto the floor. The film then starts with several characters in meeting in a cube room. We have Quentin who asserts himself as group leader. Holloway, a doctor in her 50s. Leaven, a young, booky, teenage girl who has ...

Review of Cube (DVD)

OXO cubes Beef

Advantages: Makes a good rich gravy
Disadvantages: none

I must be one of OXO`s biggest fans,those crumbly little meat extract cubes are very versatile. The bright red square packet that sits alongside the gravy and sauce granules often gets walked by, classed as insignificant and old-fashioned. It maybe marked OXO in bold lettering,but gravy granules are a quicker more simple solution,often the route chosen by many today. The first OXO cube made its debut in 1910 immediately becoming a firm family favourite. Its predecessor the liquid beef extract had been more expensive to buy,so the cube sales literally took off. Between 1983 and 1999 the OXO television adverts were centred around the OXO family..quite interesting because Michael Redfern the actor who played the part of the OXO Dad says that OXO typecast him and his career was ruined because of it. The OXO Mum was Lynda Bellingham ...
