Imposible to Easy
Impossible to easy:
It is extremely hard if not impossible to put the cube together like this with out breaking it so here is how to:
With 4 cds make a cube that is missing both it top and bottom.
Then with the 2 remaining cds complete 2 of the cuts opposite to each other.
Before you finish put the light's in the middle !!!!
And simply slide the last 2 cds on to the top and bottom of the cube and you are finished
