Overview

What's more likely: ancient interdimensional aliens created a pyramid-shaped crystal key that, when solved, unlocks the secrets to the universe, or that the Pyraminx was conceived by a German inventor in the '70s as a fun toy that tests your puzzlin' skills?

Believe it or not, the Pyraminx was created even before the Rubik's cube, and to celebrate its 50th anniversary, this edition of the five-sided mechanical puzzle is decked out in a crystal clear body that lets you see straight through the inner workings to the other side.

The faces flip and twist while remaining locked together, and your job is to unscramble them so that the colored edges all match. With 933,120 different positions, there's plenty of puzzling to be done (unless, of course, the ancient beings have beamed total knowledge into your brain, and you know how to solve it in just eleven or fewer twists).
