Are you:




A Rubiks Cube?




I'm a cube with many different faces,




A Rubiks cube has 6 sides but comprises of many smaller square "faces".




many look at me in despair.




Rubiks cubes can be quite a maddening challenge.




I stay the same when i'm changed,




No matter how much you twist and change it, it's still a Rubiks cube




yet changing is what I do.




The aim of the puzzle is to change it.

Are you:




A mirror?




I'm a box with many different faces




When people look in a mirror it shows their face, and many different people can look at it.




many look at me in despair




People often don't like the way they look, so would look upon themselves with despair, via the mirror.




I stay the same when i'm changed, yet changing is what I do.




The mirror physically never changes, but the light it reflects and the images it shows does.




Are you:




A six sided die?




I'm a box with many different faces




A six sided die is a cube with a different number on each face.




many look at me in despair




Dice are often used in gambling, where if they don't roll as intended, people can lose a lot of money and have a look of despair.




I stay the same when i'm changed, yet changing is what I do.




As the die is rolled, the value (facing up) changes, but the die itself remains unchanged.

Are you:




A clock in a clock tower?




I'm a box with many different faces




While a tower might not be a "box" shape, the housing for the clock is normally cuboid and contains the clock mechanism. A clocktower normally has 4 clock faces.




many look at me in despair.




Perhaps because they are late? Or wishing that they could leave work sooner?




I stay the same when i'm changed,




The time on a clock may be changed




yet changing is what I do.




A clock changes by itself.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
