Rubik's cube is a multicolored, three-dimensional puzzle that has challenged folks for decades. Some, though, have faced that challenge much better than others. The Daily Mail has a very brief story noting that Korean speedcuber SeungBeom Cho ("Steve") has broken his own world record. Solved in under 4.6 seconds! A video of the solution is imbedded in the article or you can see it directly on YouTube.
Having utterly mastered the ubiquitous 3x3x3 puzzle, maybe next he'd next like to take a shot at this 17x17x17 Puzzle? Or how about a 1000x1000x1000 puzzle? Of course, after such a heavy mental work out, it is important to also keep oneself in good physical shape, so it only makes sense to try one's hand at this impressive 3x3x3 puzzle.

You can yank them little blocks apart and put them back in.

You don't even need to yank them little blocks, you can simply use paint to restore the face colors.

Possibly its sweetest feature. Back during the craze, some "Cubemeisters" could get insufferable about their magic talent. So I kept a cube in my office, in which I'd popped out two blocks and interchanged them, making it insoluble. Drove the fuckers up the wall.

Guys on this thread, didn't your cubes have the colored stickers use some kind of glue that gave out when moderately warmed? I clearly recall kids easily rearranging the stickers to 'solve' the cube, and hacked cubes with traces of glue on stickers' borders.
It also made cube solvers quite aware of the impossibly placed stickers. First of all, the opposing colors in a cube are always the same, so a blue sticker neighbouring a green (on the canonic cube) is impossible. Then the count of corner/middle blocks is always 2/1 for every neighbouring color couple.
