It was originally described as a 'Level 2' >Rubik's Magic. I snapped the strings on mine and haven't seen one >since. It has 12 panels and 5 rings, and was marketed as "Unlink the Rings". I have one with the original packaging. They are hard to find; I only found mine through a very lucky occurence (and paid only $1 for it!) I am still searching for a "Make the Cube." I also have a broken one. Perhaps I should just take the string from one of my normal Magics and transfer it. -- Wei-Hwa Huang, whuang@ugcs.caltech.edu, http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~whuang/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cynical poet -- is worst of the worst.
