What is Rubik’s Cude?

Rubik’s Cube is a mechanical puzzle invented in 1974[1] by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ern? Rubik. Originally called the “Magic Cube” by its inventor, this puzzle was renamed “Rubik’s Cube” by Ideal Toys in 1980[1] and also won the 1980 German Game of the Year (Spiel des Jahres) special award for Best Puzzle. It is said to be the world’s best-selling toy, with over 300,000,000 Rubik’s Cubes and imitations sold worldwide.[2]

In a typical Cube, each face is covered by nine stickers of one of six solid colours. When the puzzle is solved, each face of the Cube is a solid colour. The Cube celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2005, when a special edition Cube in a presentation box was released, featuring a sticker in the centre of the reflective face (which replaced the white face) with a “Rubik’s Cube 1980-2005″ logo.

The puzzle comes in four widely available versions: the 2×2×2 (Pocket Cube, also Mini Cube, Junior Cube, or Ice Cube), the 3×3×3 standard cube, the 4×4×4 (Rubik’s Revenge), and the 5×5×5 (Professor’s Cube). Even larger sizes have been built and are to be launched in September of 2008.[3]
