Description: SCP-040
 
SCP-040 is a small one-hoof by one-hoof by one-hoof cube made up of six (6) different colors, with anywhere between six (6) and two (2) colors appearing on any of its sides. The colors on SCP-040 are able to be "shifted" vertically and horizontally by as-of-now unknown means. The cube appears to "break apart," while also remaining in one piece; thus allowing the colors to be moved. It is unknown what happens when a side of SCP-040 is made a single solid color, or by extension what happens when all sides are made a single solid color. As a result of the potential danger present in "solving" SCP-040, by order of the pOne5 Council, all tests regarding SCP-040 are to be suspended until SCP-040's nature is better understood.
