Rubik’s Cube In A Bottle
Impossible ObjectsIs it a puzzle or is it a magic trick? Impossible objects are difficult to classify. They really aren’t mechanical because they don’t move (usually) and you don’t manipulate any of their parts to solve them. You just look at them and think. And they aren’t really a magic trick. There’s no performer, at least not when you’re dealing with the object. But they have the same “how did they do that” quality that a magic trick has. The puzzle is to figure out how they were made.
Neat things to look at. I have no idea how they’re made.

I’ve never seen this before today, but I know how to make a Rubik’s Cube in a Quart bottle, and have also made two of them in pint (canning) bottles.
I tried to sell my cubes in quarts on ebay. Got over 240 views, but not one single bid.
Would enjoy any comments.
