A new puzzle that challenges you to bring order to the fundamental building blocks of the universe!

Quarks is a plastic spherical puzzle, 80 mm in diameter, with 8 holes where you can place your fingers. The puzzle can be rotated in any one of 3 dimensions. The object of the game is to randomly disrupt the pattern of quarks, and then to bring it back to the original configuration, thus bringing order back to the universe!

The design of the puzzle was inspired by the wondrous world of quarks. There are six coloured swirls on the ball, just as there are six types of quarks - Up and Down, Strange and Charm, Top and Bottom. In this puzzle each quark is a pole on the hemisphere with its family partner on the opposite hemisphere pole. Quarks interact through particles called Gluons. There are 8 types of gluons and every 3 quarks joined by gluons provide atomoc particles of the matter in the universe.

Just like theoretical physics, this puzzle is not as simple as it looks. However if you get completely stuck, there is a secret solution inside the box.

What are quarks? Quarks are subatomic particles that are one of the fundamental building blocks of all matter in the universe. These tiny particles are what make up the nucleus of atoms. Atoms are small, but quarks are 100 million times smaller than an atom.

Quarks - the brain teaser with a cosmic twist - comes in a smart presentation pack.
