 Fun but not logic March 2, 2010
technically, there's no code in solving this toy. All you have to do is spin it or shake it until one of the colors go in the first hole. Then you put it into the second hole and finally into the correct color capsule. I solved it by just spinning it around until one of the colors went in. It's a game of luck...i suppose. It is addicting though because when the ball is almost close to getting in, it gets on your nerves if it falls out again. You could say its one of those pin-ball games where you pull the lever and by chance, the ball lands on 100, or 500..etc....
In other words, you do not use logic at all...if you buying this product to exercise your brain...read a book instead!!
 Decent but a little too easy. February 26, 2010

Actually a fun puzzle but as other reviewers have said it is a little too easy. Opened box and had it finished within some hours. I will say that contrary to other reviewers there is some skill involved once you understand the mechanics of the puzzle. I can finish it within 5 minutes now. It's less a logic puzzle and more an engineering puzzle. Which is part of it's weakness. Once you understand the mechanics and can do any ball at will then the rest is just repeating the process. Also there might be a flaw with the hinge mechanism. When I originally got it the inner spheres swung easily thus increasing the challenge. Left it at work one day and apparently someone messed with it. Now the inner spheres turn slower making it even easier.

I bought this hoping for a challenge similar to the classic Rubik's cube which I already solved. It is really puzzling when you first look at it and realize that you have to 'defy gravity' to get the balls into the appropriate holes. It doesn't take a genius, however, to note that each of the interior spheres can be inverted upon one another so the balls can get through all the appropriate holes. This skill took about 10 minutes to master, and then I just had to apply it to the remaining 5 balls.
The good thing about the 360 is that if you do it once, it is not guaranteed that you will be able to do it again. It takes skill, unlike the traditional Rubik's cube which is 100% logic.

This puzzling toy is great, it challenges your mind in a different way than the original rubik's cube, but it is still mind bending fun. I have yet to solve it but am looking forward to it just the same, now if I can just get a minute to myself I will take on its challenge. (^_^)!! I bought this for my son who is 9 and he is way into puzzles, so great for his age for sure.
 Easily breakable January 29, 2010

As other reviewers say, this is not a very difficult puzzle; nothing close to the original Rubik's cube.
The worst thing is that mine broke within a week. I dropped it maybe once or twice, and now the inner axis is very stiff, and it does not move to certain directions very easily and gets stuck. So if you are planning to buy one, or own one, try to work out the puzzle without dropping it at all. I suspect that the bearings are not very sustainable and weakly built.
