[[NonIndicativeName Despite the name]], for the trope to count, the character cannot simply be finding or playing with a puzzle cube toy, rather it's for ''seeing one'' for the first time and not understanding it. If the Rubik's cube is used to show how smart the character solving it is, then it's RubiksCubeInternationalGeniusSymbol.

Compare with MundaneObjectAmazement (which is this trope, but applied to mundane objects). Contrast with UnusuallyUninterestingSight.

* In ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'', Zesshi Zetsumei owns a Rubik's Cube, which is considered to be a divine artifact as [[spoiler:it was brought into the New World by an ''YGGDRASIL'' player long ago.]] She fiddles with it often and comments that she can never seem to get more than one side solved.

* In an odd variation, on ''Gilligan's Planet'' (a sequel to the animated adaptation of ''Series/GilligansIsland'') they find a "mysterious cube" on the planet. The Professor notices that if you get one side all one color, it sends off a ray that enlarges. A side of a different color emits a reducing ray. So, a Rubik's Cube that DOES something when solved.

* ''Series/{{Taskmaster}}'': In the "best thing to show to an alien" prize task in Series 13, Judi Love brings in a Rubik's Cube (or "rubi cubi" as she calls it), arguing that trying to solve it would baffle the aliens into renouncing their claims to intellectual superiority. If they challenged ''her'' to solve it, she planned to declare that she is Queen Zafufu and engaging in such a contest would be beneath her.
