Puzzled?
Two new brain teasers
test agile minds, hands
by Dennis Prescott
Battalion Reporter
If you are sitting around with
nothing to do until finals, and
you’ve already mastered the
Rubik’s Cube, don’t despair.
Those people who have nothing
better to do than sit around
thinking up mind-torturing
puzzles have been hard at work.
Now available for your twist
ing and turning pleasure are two
new puzzles. One is called “The
Great Pyramid Puzzle,” and Pro
fessor Erno Rubik, designer of
the original cube, has been busy
designing his new puzzle,
“Rubik’s Snake.”
The new puzzles operate in
basically the same way as Rubik’s
Cube. “The Great Pyramid Puz
zle” is self-explanatory. It is a
hand-held pyramid with four
different-colored sides.
“Rubik’s Snake” is a puzzle
that can be transformed from a
semi-rounded position to that of
a cobra about to strike. The puz
zle is more versatile than the ori
ginal cube since its basic shape
can be altered.
Mary Perrone, an assistant
manager at J.C. Penney in Man
or East Mall, said the Snake puz
zle is selling well and is outselling
the pyramid model “by quite a
margin.”
For those who aren’t patient
enough to figure out these puz
zles’ solutions for themselves,
there are several popular books
that give step-by-step solutions
to them.
“The Simple Solution®I
Rubik’s Cube,” by James G i
Nourse is currently the No'
bestseller according to Pul>;
lisher’s Weekly magazine,^
“Mastering Rubik’s Cube," k'
Don Taylor is No. 2.
Nourse also has written*
book entitled “The Simple Solo
tions to Cubic Puzzles,” whid 1 i
contains the solutions to boil 1
the pyramid and snake models |
These solution books also a® j
selling very well locally.
Lavinia Boecker, a clerk
World of Books in Bryan, said I
that their supply was lowattl®
moment.
“We sell the books as fast a' I
we can get them,” she said. |
