    Got my girlfriend a set of those for Christmas. Building a cube can be surprisingly tricky. Good fun though.

    the trick is to make a Rectangle 6x36 then fold it 6 times, youll then have cube 6x6x6

    it may be easier to have all 216 magnets in 1 row and break into 9 equal lengths (24 spheres long), force them together the way they dont want to go, against the repulsion and create a bar magnet that is 3x3x24 then fold that in half to create something that looks like a matchbox 6x3x12, finally fold that in half to make the cube 6x6x6


    heres a handy project, try making a C60 Fullerene molecule from them =]
