The theory of Back-Spin is simple, but so was the premise of the Rubik's Cube. This plastic hand-held puzzle holds 35 colored balls that need to be matched to colored slots. Back-Spin is shaped like a flying saucer and has two halves that you twist to pass balls from one side to another. The first task is to scramble it up by moving balls into the one free space; it takes some coordination. Then it's time to solve the game. Good luck. This Oppenheim Award winner might make your head spin at first, so the instructions advise taking it slow. Try to change just one ball and then find its way home. After some practice you can try to mix it up, or worse, have someone else set the puzzle up for you. --Lynne Sampson
