The world's smallest Rubik's Cube weighing just 0.33 grams has launched—and it costs a whopping Rs 4.39 lakhs
The world's tiniest Rubik's Cube, recently launched by MegaHouse for sale, is a fully functional puzzle that fits under a fingernail and costs over Rs 4 lakh. This miniature marvel, coinciding with the Rubik's Cube's 50th anniversary, was even recognised by Guinness World Records for the smallest rotating cube.
There are two types of people in the world: those who can solve a Rubik's Cube and those who can't - we didn't make the rules! If you fall into the first group, there's something new that is sure to grab your attention. Released this Thursday, the world's tiniest Rubik's Cube has hit the market—and it's arguably the most adorable twist on the classic puzzle yet.
For those unfamiliar, the Rubik's Cube is a classic 3D puzzle where players twist and turn 26 smaller cubes to align them back to their original configuration.
While the standard cube is a challenge for many, something new and far more miniature hit the scene on Thursday—introducing the world's tiniest Rubik's Cube!
Created by Japanese toymaker MegaHouse, this fully functional six-sided puzzle is so small it can literally fit under a fingernail, and you might need tweezers just to solve it.
Crafted from aluminum, it weighs a mere 0.33 grams (0.01 ounces) and measures only 0.19 inches on all sides—about a thousandth of the size of a regular Rubik's Cube.

In fact, this pint-sized puzzle was officially recognised by Guinness World Records in August as the smallest rotating puzzle cube ever made.
The launch of the world’s smallest Rubik’s Cube comes at a fitting time, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the iconic original.
