The cube now is rainbow and has silver rings. A game rule for this one is you can match the silver rings and color squares, which can make it more complicated.

In 1987, Rubik's Magic: Master Edition was published by Matchbox; it consisted of 12 silver tiles arranged in a 2 × 6 rectangle, showing 5 interlinked rings that had to be unlinked by transforming the puzzle into a shape reminiscent of a W. Around the same time, Matchbox also produced Rubik's Magic Create the Cube, [2] a "Level Two" version of Rubik's Magic, in which the puzzle is solved when folded into a cube with a base of two tiles, and the tile colors match at the corners of the cube. [3] It did not have as wide a release, and is rare to find. A similar classification can also be obtained for the heart-shaped forms of the puzzle, of which 64 exist. List of all 1351 theoretically possible shapes (Legend: = stands for wrap -2; - stands for wrap -1; 0 stands for wrap 0; + stands for wrap +1; # stands for wrap +2) Verhoeff, Tom (1987).

It can be seen that the total number of 2 × 4 rectangles that can possibly be created using Rubik's Magic is only thirty-two; these can be created from eight distinct chains. The easiest way to classify chains is by the means of the middle tile of the puzzle's finished form (the only tile that has segments of all three rings) and the tile next to it featuring a yellow/orange ring segment (the indicator tile).In the procedure above, step a makes sure that arrangement is not one of those in rows 5 or 6 in the diagram, step b2 Rubik's Magic: Master Edition [ edit ] Rubik's Magic: Master Edition Rubik's Magic: Master Edition in solved state The total wrap is invariant under a move. Thus, one can calculate the number of theoretically possible shapes of the chain (disregarding the patterns on the individual tiles) as 1351. [4] All possible relative positions of the two hinges on a single tile; the number below the tile is the amount of wrap Numerous ways to accomplish this exist, and experienced players can transform the puzzle from its initial into the solved state in less than 2 seconds. [1] Other challenges for Rubik's Magic include reproducing given shapes (which are often three-dimensional), sometimes with certain tiles required to be in certain positions and/or orientations.

The basic operation (move) consists of transferring a hinge between two tiles T 1 and T 2, from one pair of edges (E 11 of T 1 and E 21 on T 2) to another pair E 12 and E 22.One question when analyzing Rubik's Magic concerns its state space: What is the set of configurations that can be reached from the initial state? This question is harder to answer than for Rubik's Cube, because the set of operations on Rubik's Magic does not form a mathematical group. The world record for a single solve of the Magic is 0.69 seconds, set by Yuxuan Wang. Yuxuan Wang also holds the record for an average of five solves - 0.76 seconds set at the Beijing Summer Open 2011 competition. [5] Due to the World Cube Association no longer recognizing Rubik's Magic as an official event as of 2012, Yuxuan Wang holds the permanent world record for this puzzle. Rubik's Magic, like the Rubik's Cube, is a mechanical puzzle invented by Ernő Rubik and first manufactured by Matchbox in the mid-1980s.
