Slightly larger than a baseball, Gear Ball is like a Rubik's cube morphed into a sphere.Your goal is to twist and turn Gear Ball's surface until you form six solid faces of color.

9. Square-1

The Square-1, also known as Back to Square One and Cube 21, is a puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube. Its distinguishing feature among the numerous Rubik's Cube variants is that it can change shape as it is twisted, due to the way it is cut, thus adding an extra level of challenge and difficulty. It was invented by Karel Hršel and Vojtěch Kopský arounf 1990.

10. Skewb

The Skewb is a combination puzzle and a mechanical puzzle in the style of Rubik's Cube. It was invented by Tony Durham. It is cubical in shape, it differs from Rubik's construction in that its axes of rotation pass through the corners of the cube rather than the centres of the faces. There are four such axes, one for each space diagonal of the cube. As a result, it is a deep-cut puzzle in which each twist affects all six faces.

11. The Gear cube

The Gear Cube was invented by Oskar van Deventer, based on an idea by Bram Cohen. It is like a 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube where all the edge pieces are cogs that turn when the outer layers are moved. If you give any face a half turn, the middle layer moves a quarter turn due to the edge cog wheels. The puzzle is manufactured and sold by Uwe Meffert.
