The Rubik's Cube was invented by Erno Rubik in 1974. It wasn't named Rubik's Cube until 1980. The Rubik's Cube comes in several different sizes, the most familiar being the 3X3X3 cube. It also comes in a more difficult 4X4X4, and a near impossible 5X5X5 cube. For an easier challenge, try the 2X2X2 cube.

Answer: All of these are things you can do with a Kleenex box

Kleenex was a word invented by Kimberly-Clark and has been used as a trademark since June 12, 1924. You can use these boxes for several different things, the three choices being just some of them. Many pet stores and online sources recommend using a tissue box and replacing it every few months as a bed for your hamster, if you do not want to purchase one. You can always use a tissue box to store your junk. If you cut the bottom out of a Kleenex box, and cut the side out with the bottom flap, and re-tape it slightly wider, it will easily fit over another tissue box.

Answer: Ice cubes

Ice cubes are more common than crushed ice to cool a drink because they melt a lot slower, and therefore keep our drink colder longer. Although ice cubes can come in several different shapes and sizes, cubes are the most popular shape when ordering a mixed drink "on the rocks".

They are made in freezers, sometimes in an ice tray, but some freezers come with an icemaker, so you don't have to freeze the ice yourself.

Answer: Dice

Dice can be found in many different games, and sometimes make games all in themselves. A common pair of dice will have a total of 42 dots on them, with one dot on each die on one side to represent one, two dots on each to represent two, and so on until you reach six. Snake eyes are when you roll two ones.

The six is opposite of one, the three is opposite of four, and the five is opposite of two. This is the case with ALL dice, each opposing side totalling seven.
