Erno Rubik’s “Magic Cube” presents a frustrating challenge. Without the necessary strategy, you can blindly twist and turn for hours, chasing your tail through a seemingly infinite labyrinth of multicoloured permutations.

RadioHead Redux
Maybe this show should come with a disclaimer: does not actually contain any Radiohead songs, references, or Thom Yorke-inspired dance moves (see Lotus Flower).
