It’s here. It’s back. And it’s just as dashed difficult as you remember. Curse of the early 1980s and most sought-after distraction at school breaktime (even moreso than the automatic drinks machine) Erno Rubik’s masterful invention had the whole world scratching its collective head for years. Now you can scratch yours all over again. The cube – originally known as The Magic Cube – was nothing short of a global phenomenon. 300,000,000 have been sold worldwide, of which a staggering 100,000,000 changed hands in the period from 1980-82. And, with a impossibly large 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (that’s 43.2 quintillion) possible permutations, it’s no surprise that many of those original 300 million are now to be found slowly decomposing in landfill sites all over the world. This is the greatest shame of all. And the reason that gadgetshop can now procure you a mint version of the original to discombobulate your brain for old time’s sake. Now introducing Rubiks 360. It may sound easy, but be under no illusion, this is the hardest Rubik’s puzzle yet! Spin, twist, lock and rotate the transparent sphere; featuring niches that correspond to coloured spheres inside. The first true puzzle from Erno Rubik to challenge the classic cube for innovation and difficulty. The puzzle is provided pristine and complete. You may wish to keep it that way. Now go. Twist.

If gently prising the cap off your Bud with a conventional opener seems a bit tame, why not go for a quicker and altogether more entertaining, and deeply satisfying approach to bottle opening? The stainless steel ZapCap is a chic step up from the plastic version and an ingenious British invention that removes any crown cap via smartly-applied downward pressure. Hidden inside is a spring-loaded mechanism. Place the whole contraption over the bottle top and zap it down with the flat of the hand to lift off the cap in one action. It even magnetically retains the top for disposal later – though if you give it a rather over-zealous thwack the top can adopt a mind of its own.

Each player takes an ergonomically designed handle from the Sci-Fi style centre console, some rather scary music plays… then after a random period of time it suddenly stops, and a green activation light illuminates! Each player tries to hit the red button on their controller as quickly as possible. Rather like a 21st century version of a Victorian parlour game isn’t it? Well, no actually! You see, Victorian parlour games never electrocuted the losers!

It knows what you’re thinking. The amazing 20Q will leave you and your friends amazed as it reads your mind. If it reads your mind within 20 questions it wins if not you win! This is “Artificial Intelligence” in its most spherical form. ; ; Who Invented 20Q? ; Robin Burgener the inventor of 20Q is based in Ontario Canada. He began working on 20Q in 1988 with the game running on a 5/14 inch floppy disk. Until 1996 over 2000 games were played in this way creating the basis for the larger online experiment which led to the launch of the pocket version by Radica. ; ; How does the 20Q guess what you are thinking? ; The artificial intelligence behind the game is a neural-network similar to a human brain. A brain or neural-network is built from neurons connected by synaptic connections. A human brain has about one hundred trillion (100 000 000 000 000) synaptic connections. The 20Q.net online version has about ten million (10 000 000) and the pocket version has about two hundred and fifty thousand (250 000). The game uses the neural-network to choose the next question as well as deciding what to guess. ; ; How did it get so good at guessing the right answer? ; The 20Q.net Web site was created in 1996 and currently plays over twelve thousand games per day. The game is still learning through playing and analyzing the results from the games played to enable it to learn new objects and hone its skills on items currently in its vocabulary. Radica’s version of 20Q has taken the most popular items to create an addictive and sometimes uncannily accurate pocket mind-reader!
