  • The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy. In a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by nine stickers, among six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). Red is usually opposite orange, yellow opposite white, and blue opposite green. A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid colour. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers, not all of them by Rubik. The original 3×3×3 version celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2010. The Rubik's Cube has over 43,000,000,000,000,000,000 combinations and only one solution. It is theorized from any solvable state on a cube, you can solve it within 20 moves. This is called God's number. At least two people have solved the cube in 20 moves during the Fewest Moves event at compititions. The current world record is held by Lucas Etter, with a time of 4.9 seconds.
  • The Rubik's Cube is a three-dimensional mechanical puzzle. It takes the form of a cube with coloured stickers on each side. Each side of the cube is divided both ways to give a 3x3 grid, and each side can be rotated freely on an axis through the cube's centre. The aim of the puzzle is to rotate the sides of a "scrambled" cube, where the coloured stickers are positioned arbitrarily, to form a "solved" cube, where each side has nine stickers of one colour on it. On a standard cube, the colours are red, orange, yellow, white, green and blue. Red is always on the opposite side to orange, yellow to white, and green to blue. Unofficial cubes generally replace at least one colour to evade trademark issues, and some colours are typically opposite the "wrong" ones.

  • The Rubik's Cube, also known as the Magic Cube or Witchcraft Cube, is a torture device sold across the world on the basis that it is an affordable and vaguely entertaining cause of self-mutilation, as opposed to expensive alcohol addiction or social problems, the long term effects of which are somewhat over-the-top in comparison to the state of a person following the years during which they voluntarily attempt to unscramble the device. The Rubik's Cube was invented by the Hungarian architect Ernő Rubik during a particularly lonely stay in his city apartment following the collapse of an apartment he had designed not a year before. Based on the autopsy of his late cat, it was determined that he had spend two months designing and building a prototype of the Rubik's Cube, and his body had gone missing two hours later. Due to lax Hungarian copyright laws, a friend immediately sold the Rubik's Cube prototype to a local company, who in turn made worldwide profits following the cube hitting toy store shelves across the world, and then doubled its intake by investing in global funeral companies. Since then, Rubik's Cubes have become a fundamental plaything in Western civilisation (the individuals of poorer countries simply cannot afford to waste their time in this way), with some experts estimating that every basement in America has at least 40% of an intact Rubik's Cube. Its attractive qualities make the Rubik's Cube what some refer to as "the perfect toy". Regardless of whether this is true or not, it certainly is notable for inhabiting the dreams of children everywhere, a feat few objects accessible before bedtime have yet to achieve.

A toy block that will keep you at it for hours trying to do it. They have four sides, each side with 9 squares with different colors. Have to get all colors sorted with each other on the same side Its a 3D cube and its a puzzel you have to match the colors ... Image:1980s1.png Erno Rubik was looking for a innovative method of teaching his students about 3D objects and came up with what would be called Rubik's Cube. He patented this clever cube and made millions in the early 80's. There were 43 quintillion combinations of solving the cube, which prompted many books on how to solve the cube. The world record for solving the cube is 16.5 seconds! A later version of the cube was released called "Rubik's Revenge" which had four rows of four squares instead of three on the standard cube. 100 million cubes have been sold worldwide and are even now somewhat popular in certain places in the world.
  • L’humanité se divise en deux catégories : ceux qui n’ont jamais réussi à terminer un Rubik’s Cube et ceux qui ne savent pas ce qu’est un Rubik’s Cube. Un tel clivage est inacceptable à une époque où tous nos dirigeants se battent pour faire de la Terre un monde de justice et d’égalité. Mais - car il y a un mais - réussir le Rubik’s Cube, ce n’est pas facile. Même si je fais le malin ici en vous donnant de nombreuses méthodes pour y parvenir, je ne suis personnellement jamais arrivé au bout. Et pourtant ce n’est pas faute d’avoir essayé. Tout petit déjà mes parents, eux-mêmes champions olympiques du Rubik’s Cube par équipe à Berlin en 1936 (ils concourraient pour la Jamaïque à l’époque), avaient tenté sans succès de m’inculquer les bases de ce noble sport. Depuis je n’ai eu de cesse de trouver la solution par respect pour leur mémoire.
