Lothaire and his polyhedral mechanical puzzle

So I was reading "Lothaire" by Kresley Cole... I'm not very far into it, btw, because I only got it today (read, made a special trip in to get it two days ago but had to wait for my mother to read it first, since she paid for it)... and I came across this:

"To pass the time, he was tempted to tacke a new mechanical puzzle he'd acquired - a polyhedral assembly, solvable in sixty-five moves - but his concentration suffered on most days as it was."

And my mind, which sometimes works in a series of still pictures, immediately cut to a vision of Lothaire sprawled in an arm chair, a maniacal look in his eyes as he tried to solve a Rubik's Cube. This was made funnier in my mind by the additional knowledge that Lothaire struggles with untangling reality from reverie.

So clearly, I have decided to forgo the armchair, but for viewing pleasure, I have added background to compromise.
