I contain faces of different colors
for fun they get mixed with one another
It's easy for them to hang outside their 'race'
but it's quite tricky to put them back in their place
With time and patience it can be done
but to mix them up again is way more fun.

Very good!!! Ilove teasers that I can accually figure out on my own!!! Does that make me selfish? I hope not!!!! Anyway, good one!!
good teaser! i got it, but it took me a while!
Good one!! Do they still have those?
yes they do still have them.
Sad thing is I've been trying to figure one out since I was six and I'm going to be 23 next month, and I've yet to finish one.

nice teaser - good rhyming, too. spent two hours once upon a time trying to put one of those things together - got it down to two spaces. never tried again.
Tiggr, there is actually a solution to those things! even contests to see who can "solve" them the fastest.
Amen to Imurray comment.
This teaser was well done and fun. But 'it was way more fun' smashing one with a hammer. The R'cubed drove me nuts.

nice n easy
Great Teaser. I actually got one once. Took me about 4 months but I got it.
Oh, didnt get it, waaaaaahhhhh!!!
I always find a way to blame it on someone else when I don't get one, but this AM, I'm sparing you! I couldn't think of an accusation. It's simply that I haven't seen one of those for like, at least a thousand years, lol!
Anyway, that was good, thanks!

I forgot about the Rubik's Cube.
I liked it a lot! It was easy, but fun! At first I thought it was going to be a rainbow because of the colors... then I thought maybe a marble game like Chinese Checkers. Then I realized it was the Rubik's Cube. Nicely written poem, and a fun teaser!! *****
Good teaser. I couldn't think of anything except maybe snowflake, but that didn't really fit either.
good one
That was so great! I was actually thinking the world. LOL! Oh well. It was fun! Keep up the great work!!
P.S. I finished one last year. It took me three and a half years!!
haha!I thought is's a rainbow! Good one
I liked it, but didn't figure it out. I think what was holding me back was the 'race' part. Good one though!
Good teaser, i didn't get it, The race part through me off. Oh well.
I got it right away! Woo-Hoo! I rock! Great and fun teaser!
I thought it was a box of crayons because of the whole color thing, and hard to put back. But it was a good one...forgot all about the R Cube!!!

thought it was play-dough.....
nicely done

thought it was a deck of cards, haa caught me didn`t ya! lol
I got it, I GOT IT! And right away! I do think it helped that just yesterday, I did a crossword puzzle that needed the first name of Mr. Rubrik. I didn't know that, but learned that it is Erno. There - now YOU learned something!
OOps - I mean Rubik!
That was a lot more fun than tinkering with a rubik's cube. That thing drove me crazy. A friend actually bought me the little stickers that you could put over the squares so they could be lined up properly again. LOL
I too thought this was a deck of cards - althought I guess they don't have a world of color - but did you ever try and get a royal flush?

I love it!
Good one! You got me.
I thought flowers- seeds plant themselves in different areas, gardening work can put them back in order, fun to mix 'em up in a bouquet.

I got it...but since i never seem to get any of them i thought i must be wrong...but i wasn't !!!!! very clever on the wording...more please..
I thought it was an artists pallet. Of course, that makes no sense since you can't unmix oil paints, nor is it 6 sided. But other than that I was close.
Terrific teaser! Have to agree with OCH on the hammer smashing fun...
Easy but fun. I LOVE Rubik's cubes. I have a whole collection of them at home. I like to mix them up in different patterns. It IS more fun to mix them up.
I'm old enough to remember the Rubic's Cube and several more that came after. One was even eight sided. But the origianal was still the best. I see it brought back memories for a lot of us. I did get the teaser, right off the bat, easy and fun. But I was totally impressed with the poetry writing. Now that took class. Good job. More please.
It was verry easy i am on my moms sight I AM JUST 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved it first one I got in a week
Easy, but fun!
Easy, but fun!
wicked easy.....knew it on the first clue! yay!
MAN THAT WAS A COOL ONE
i forgot about rubiks cube also. good job.
Got it! Fun
heck ya i got that! I'm a happy, I had to sit and figure it out but i remembered that cubes have 6 sides. that helped A LOT
easy one
Real good one BUT,would never have got it in a hundred years
I liked this one . Missed it Don't know why I said a kalescope?
sorry I mis spelled the word!
just kidding
When I first came to the site today and read the daily teaser, I couldn't figure it out....then later I read it again and got it right away!! Wonder why....
I liked this one..my first thought was crayons and then 6 sided made me think R'cube. Thanks!
CHILD'S PLAY!
Fun. The poetry was very well done and flowed nicely. For those who got hung up on race - notice that race was in single quotes. That's your cue that it is a metaphor - another indication of a very well constructed riddle.
Nice work, liked that one!
nice, 4 sum reazon i thought it wuz puzzle piece
HeY! i actually got it! yay mee!
i got it this time...seldom do i get this type of teaser
Talk about 'CHILD'S PLAY', imurray, grow up, get a life and move on.
The hint gave me the answer. Nice puzzle you wrote.

I've never once put together a rubik's cube, but somehow I actually got this one. Great riddle! (Not just because I actually got the answer)
it was hard;like a rubix cube!LOL
Strangely, I thought of a ray of light passing through a prism! Too far fetched! This teaser floored me. A nice one, though!
Great one! More please!

Great teaser!! I knew it!! It was easy and fun!!
I like this one.
good one for all you peples out there im 14 and got the puzzle and im able to figure out a rubks cube!!!!
I could not get this one, and I used to love rubic's cube. I haven't played with it in years, so maybe that is why I didn't think of it. Great teaser.
Fun! For some reason my first thought was some sort of liquid, but I got it in the end. Nice one!
A KOREAN LAD CAN SOLVE A RUBIK'S CUBE ON AVERAGE IN 11 SECONDS.
THE WORLD RECORD IS ABOUT 10 SECONDS.

Interesting. I was thinking it was a deck of playing cards, but the 52 card Pick-Up connection grew less and less likely as the riddle went on.
Also, lmurray is an idiot.
Also, lmurray is an idiot.
That was really easy, but it was cleverly worded and I like it. I have a friend who can do the rubiks cube with his eyes closed. I can barely get one side done...
i got the answer but i cant beat the cube!
The Old Rubiik's Cube Trick....very nicely done! I was stumped. My guess was stamps.
I got it right away!! Yeah!! Good teaser, I also thought a box of crayons for a moment. Until it said that it is more fun messed up. HeeHee!!!
Good teaser...it was nice and easy. I don't think imurray is leaving bad messages now. He seems to have changed his attitude. just my thoughts...
anyways keep up the good work
anyways keep up the good work
I was thinking all over the place.. (except the right place!!) play-doh, deck of cards, colored dice ( ). The colored dice should have given some power the lightbulb in the brain, but, alas, it did not! Oh well, great one anyway!!
Great riddle. At first I was thinking crayons, but by the end of the riddle I had it. I did "solve" one, in a way, when I was a kid. I took all the stickers off the cube and put them back on so it was solved. Not what the designers had in mind, but it worked for me.
I thought it was a great teaser! Probably because I could figure it out much easier than the cube. When I was a kid I learned how to take it apart and put it back together correctly. My friends and family all thought I was brilliant when I would come back from "thinking" with the puzzle solved!
Old,Easy,another waste of my time.Immurray and I are probably the only two people who really lay the truth on the line. C'mon you others tell the real truth when you see these grade school teasers. are you afraid of the ridicule or are you that undereducated? /
wow a very easy teaser..but very nicely writtn out and very well explained
I needed the hinh. As soon as I saw it was a six sided figure, I "knew" it was a cube. Well written, though. I rated it meduim difficult.
I couldnt get it, but i tried. Just not good at these teasers but this one was cute.
Wow, I thought it was a paint palette (mixing the paint) and I forgot to check the hint. Great teaser though!
at first glance, i thought of a box of crayons, but by the time i finished reading it to the end, i got the right answer. great teaser.
A KOREAN LAD CAN SOLVE A RUBIK'S CUBE ON AVERAGE IN 11 SECONDS.
I think there is a logical error in this statement. The ability to solve a Rubik's Cube (or any other puzzle, for that matter) is neither sex nor Nationally-linked. The statement (possibly) should read, "A product of the Korean Education System can solve ..."

I enjoyed this teaser - thanks! I had to read it through a couple of times, and the "race" part threw me off, but I got it. And thank you, all of you who, take the time to put these teasers here for us. Whether you write them yourself or get them from somewhere else. Those that are "old" to some are "new" to others. And being that human brains are as different as the human themselves, they do not all work alike. A teaser that is is "easy" to one is not easy to another. I come here not only for the challenge, but for the fun. A person that submits anything to Braingle is opening themselves to ridicule, and fortunately (note the sarcasm) there are those who are full of nothing but. So again, my gratitude to all of you who give of your time. Most of us appreciate it.
Here's my issue with riddles. Either you get it fairly quickly and it feels way too easy, or you're stumped and it feels way too hard. No in-between, hence I'm not a big fan of them. Give me something to work out!!
I also thought of pla-dough but got it after the hint. nice job
I also thought of a prism. But then it came to me in a flash.
Try The Cube.
I laughed when I was right.
Thanks all who make these up. I will try one day & open myself up
to ridicule as one memeber wrote.

to Zaya ... You send one in , in the middle and we'll see if we like it. I'm fine with them the way they are. Don't worry, be Happy
I thought it was well-written, but extremely easy...I knew what it was after the first line.
However, I do think you did a good job.

Well written!! I had just seen "The Pursuit of Happyness" and the Rubik's Cube was fresh in my mind.
Good Job!
Oh, and LMURRAY, are you speaking of one specific Korean lad? I believe the current record is held by American Toby Mao at 10.48 secs. http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/rubik.html

I didn't understand the reference to "race." Can someone explain? Got the answer, though.
Nice teaser although the first thing that came to mind was the answer. 'Race' refers to all the same color.
I got it!!!!! Very good.
The only thing I could think of was a jigsaw puzzle. You stumped me.
Okay--Rubik!!!
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I get it ...
well ... not really fun but it was
well ... not really fun but it was
That was tricky!! But, it was really fun!!
j9mattfield, well said!!! Fun puzzle, I went from crayons, to play dough then read the hint and got the cube right away!
Nicely written and easy too!
Nice job.
Nice job.
AWESOME

i love rubiks cube!
soo fun!
message me!
please
this is the first one i ever actually got! yay!!!!
Nice! i actually got it but I liked it!
Yay! I finally got one right...I had it before I finished reading it. Great riddle!
I loved it! Rubiks cubes are my best friends. I memorized the directions that my own came with and now I can solve any rubiks cub in minutes. (shhhh, dont tell)
Err... "to mix them up again is way more fun" is a rather subjective statement that doesn't really belong in a riddle. I personally preferred solving it to mixing it up.
got it right away!!!!!
omg!!!! this was the first teaser i ever got right!! i am a rubiks cube expert!!!
May 27, 2007
very easy, but it's good... i love solving rubik's cubes...
M'kay, so really all you needed was the first line since that gave it away.
Too easy! Got it right away!
Had it in mind by the end of the line about faces of different colours, knew it for sure after the part about mixing them together.
As a child of the 80s, Rubiks Cubes were all the rage and everyone had (at least) one. Like many young kids who gave up, we removed the stickers from his and "solved" it what way. Then we took mine apart and put it back together with the colours in order. That ruined it, it never turned after that. We finally solved my sister's properly, which is good since I am not sure our parents would have bought us another one after we ruined 3!

Sorry to step on people's toes, but I agree w/doehead.
I was too arrogant to use the HINT. So, my guess race horse(jockey colors was wrong..LOL

This site attracts people of all ages, I would expect that there would be teasers to keep them all coming back. It is possible that this teaser was written by an eighth grader for the grade school crowd.
Lighten up negative nelly.

a little too easy!
Nicely worded, but another one for the kiddies me thinks?
I needed the hint to figure it out.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it very quickly. Never liked that game - I could never solve it.
