Rubik Mini Magic Panels

a.k.a. Rubik's Magic Junior
Wallace and Gromit, made by A. R. Mason, U. K. 2007.
(plastic, four 2" panels held by wire loops, when front is solved, back is not)

The smallest of the Rubik magic panels puzzles. There are four ways to fold the puzzle in half; as shown in the directions to the Rubiks Magic Junior Picture Game series (see the next page), two of these let you do the loop transform (also called the roll) and two the star transform. By learning what they do, the puzzle can be solved very quickly, or by just more or less randomly playing with them, the puzzle usually solves without too much effort.
