The original Rubik’s cube is f-ing hard to solve. Before we had YouTube clips that gave away the secrets to solving ErnÅ‘ Rubik’s color-coated block, the challenge stumped many an '80s baby. Now, true brainiacs are gonna have to step their game up if they want to solve the V-Cube, a 7 x 7 x 7 upgrade from the traditional 2 x 2 x 2 cube.

In May 2003, Greek engineer Panagiotis Verdes started sketching designs for a 5 x 5 x 5 flip of Rubik’s design. This year, his so-called “21st Century Cube” hit the market in three different sizes'the V-Cube 5, 6, and 7. On October 26th, he’ll be putting puzzle solvers to the test with the V-Cube’s first brain-busting competition in Germany.
