A World Record!
The Element Cube really is the first of its kind. Containing over 60 metals in one cube, this is truly the largest alloy in the world.
We would love to see this go down in the books as the most fascinating cube on Earth, and as we speak, the good people over at Guiness are learning about the cube themselves!
Clearly, this is the most metal of all cubes. :punk:
Why won't people just give me money? :(
No Uranium, Plutonium or even Arsenic? What a gyp.

Or mercury.
I demand that my featureless element cube contain more elements! :mad:

Yeah WTF.
It is kind of neat.
Humans also contain about 60 elements (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body).

Well, I'm not putting a human on my desk as a keepsake. ;)

How does it compare to Time Cube?
Can someone who knows chemistry/physics explain if the makers of this cube are playing off some clever joke? Way more than 62 elements, no?

They try to put as many metals in there as possible to create the world's biggest alloy. Some metals are excluded, like Uranium mentioned above.
Asoka.

I think that's as many as they can put in without making it toxic/radioactive.
