How to Play Rubik's Brain Racker
Rubik's Brain Racker is a puzzle with many possible solutions. Some ideas for solving it are even on the back of its box! The puzzle itself is a plastic ball. It has many small triangles on tracks. Each triangle has a number from 1 to 5. They also come in four colors: red, yellow, blue, and green.
