Description

Let's start off with a simple Rubik's Cube:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21979673/54988437-b9b80d80-4fb6-11e9-9d91-8cb0342b9284.png)

Different sizes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2x2x2 (Pocket Cube)



3x3x3 (Rubik's Cube)



4x4x4 (Rubik's Revenge)



5x5x5 (Professor's Cube)



6x6x6



7x7x7



8x8x8 (Twisty Speed Cube)

... up to 13x13.

Or not..
For a while, I thought this was the biggest cube record. Until I saw this...

So this is Tony Fisher's 28x28 Rubik's Cube. It's the world record (as far as I know) for the biggest Rubik's Cube ever.

OK, back to our list.

Rubik's Tower:

The fun thing about it is it scrambles like this...

It changes it's shape! This is called "Shape-Shifting", and lots of Rubik's Cubes have it.

There are other "cuboidal" Rubik's Cubes:


2x2x3 (Rubik's Tower, 3 Layers)



2x2x4 (Rubik's Tower, 4 Layers)



2x2xN (Rubik's Tower)



1x3x3 (Floppy Cube)

Thanks to: https://ruwix.com/twisty-puzzles/super-floppy-cube/

The last one is interesting. There is a "Floppy Cube", where you can only do half-turns. It doesn't have Shape-Shift. And also a "Super Floppy Cube", which does. [Click here for a more detailed explanation](https://ruwix.com/twisty-puzzles/super-floppy-cube/).

OK, so far, I've been explaining everything. But now we understand everything, I'm not going to do that any more.

Next up, the Pyraminx (if you've researched this,you will probably have seen this one):

One last message: YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO ALL OF THEM. It would be loads of parts.

Ok, this issue is finnally done.
