If you feel like your brain needs some exercise...

If you're looking for a smart challenge...

If you have an hour to build something cool...

i give you....

A 3X3 Rubik's Cube, with Sudoku on each side.

What You Need

here's a list of what you need:

1. Rubik's Cube (can be old, or cheap, or just one you can ruin without regrets)
2. Stickers that you can write on

Strip the Cube

Second step is to clean the cube. Meaning:

Peel the color-stickers off
Clean excess glue and sticker-traces that's left (with solvent or detergent - just don't use a lot)

You'll end up with a bare cube, black plastic only.

(if you love your cube - solve it for the last time before you undress it..)

Make Sudoku Stickers

1. Measure the size of one corner cube (mine was 2.1 cm X 2.1 cm)

2. Prepare 54 square Stickers (3X3X6=54)
maybe you can find ready stickers
I had to cut mine out from larger stickers

3. Make 6 sets of stickers with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 on them (Sudoku is 1-9.. right?)
Don't forget to underline 6 and 9 to distinguish between them!

Stick 'em Up!!

Last thing you need to do is:

Stick a set of sudoku numbers stickers on each side of the stripped Rubik's Cube

(Make sure you stick them well - solving the SudoKube can become pretty violent!

And there you have it!! a home-made SudoKube!!

now...... just solve it!!!
good luck.....
