Rubik's Faces

---

On the way to Daikokuya, my favorite ramen place in the United States - sorry Ippudo, I ran across a father and daughter trying to solve this Rubik's Cube inspired art installation piece in Los Angeles' Japantown.  You could spin it on its axis and rotate the top two layers as you see the father doing.  The strange part was that it seemed like you could only solve one side at a time.  When you would complete a side to create a complete face, all of the other sides look garbled.  Maybe the artist was trying to make some kind of statement?
