Disappointing Toy Museum

I was amazed to hear that there is a Toy Museum that has over 45000 toys - world's largest - near Natural Bridge in Virginia. Curious to see the collection, I bought the expensive ticket. With lot of expectations and curiosity I enter to see a pretty small place that has lego and Leo toys. Of course not to totally disappoint, there were two toys - the oldest one from Mexico and the tiniest one again from Mexico.

The store attached to it was older still. When I asked for a Ruby's cube, he brought the children version of the same (2x2 squares on each side). Adding to it, he said it requires more skill to solve it than the usual 3x3 one.

I was confused to hear this. My little knowledge in Mathematics says the more squares the more combinations and the more challenge. Although it could be a marketing technique, he thought I am real dumb!

Big disappointment!
