heard of rubiks cube?
i bet u do.. lol
there are many types of rubiks..
**after bryan told me
hehe.. ohh kayy
here we go..

regular cuboids:

rubiks cube
the original

rubiks revenge
same as 3x3x3 cube except additional algorithm

professors cube
same as 3x3x3 cube except additional algorithm

pocket cube
simpler to solve than the standard cube

4D puzzles:

4-dimensional puzzle
more difficult to solve than the standard cube,
although the techniques follow much the same principles

non-uniform box shapes:

specter cube

2x3x3

2x2x3 aka slim tower

siamese cube
two or more puzzles that are fused so that
some pieces are common to both cubes

extended cube
bonding additional cubes to an existing puzzle

boob cube
possibly the simplest regular cuboid puzzle to solve

pattern variations:

foolers cube
mechanically identical to the standard 3x3x3 cube
but not a real puzzle since all the faces are the same colour

rubiks for the blind
allow operation by blind persons, or to solve blindfolded
an embossed symbol on each square which corresponds to a colour
but now no longer on sale

magic cube
the numbers on the centre pieces force the solver
to become aware that each one can be in one of four orientations,
thus hugely increasing the total number of combinations

tartan cube
making the orientation of the centre pieces 'count' in the solution
& harder to solve because the nature of the pattern causes confusion
the cube pictured here could cause eye strain

sudokube
adds another layer of difficulty in that the numbers
must all have the same orientation and there are no colors to follow
instead the cuber must solve the Sudoku puzzle

irregular cuboids:

skewb
differs in that its four axes of rotation pass through
the corners of the cube rather than the centres of the faces

square one
can be turned in such a manner as to
distort the cubical shape of the puzzle

other polyhedra:

pyramix
pyramid shaped puzzle similar to rubiks cube

pyramorphix
functions out to be identical to a 2x2x2 cube

megaminx
12-sided polyhedron puzzle similar to rubiks cube
in operation and solution

alexander's star
12 sided nonconvex polyhedron puzzle
similar to rubiks cube in operation and solution

dogic
an icosahedron cut into 60 triangular pieces
around its 12 tips and 20 face centers

skewb diamond
an octahedral variation on the rubiks cube
is a deep-cut puzzle very similar to the skewb

skewb ultimate
more difficult than the skewb diamond

cylindrical cube
mechanically identical to the 3x3x3 cube
however have an interesting difference in its solution

diamond cube
identical to the 3x3x3 cube

magic-120 cell
virtual 4-dimensional puzzle,
the 4-D analogue of the megaminx

other geometric shape:

magic ball aka rubiks sphere
identical to the 3x3x3 cube in operation and solution
the only practical difference is that it is rather hard to grip

3D puzzles distinct from the rubik series:

rubiks clock
unofficially called rubiks gas meter
moves and algorithms of solutions of the Clock have many similarities to the Cube

rubiks snake
some would not count this as a combinational puzzle
despite it bearing the rubik name

2D puzzles:

sliding piece puzzle
traditional design is with numbers and the solution forms a magic square
picture shows the puzzle unsolved

sliding piece puzzle with picture
nature of a jigsaw in addition to being a combination puzzle
picture consists of multitude of a polyhedra which have been made into rubik puzzles

rubiks magic
not entirely 2D

2D magic cube
virtual puzzle in the rubik series,
but this time a very simple one

there we end..
the rubiks series
there's a few unmentioned..
cos no pics.. xDD
