Twisty Cube Puzzle Thing

I’m very fond of hand-held electronic puzzles. This one is rather neat. It is rather like Rubik’s cube, but rather than make sides the same colour you have to make the colours on the two moveable elements line up with an arrangement shown on the four in the middle. You do this by flipping them and rotating them.

The blurb for the device goes on about the educational benefits of the toy, but I’m not particularly convinced about that. I just find it fun to play with.
