Did you know that the Rubik’s Cube was invented by Erno Rubik in 1974? He was a Hungarian architect who created the Rubik’s Cube as a working model to explain 3-D geometry.
So, the Rubik’s Cube was never meant to be a toy. However, when it was initially introduced to the public, it was called the "Magic Cube". Erno Rubik had a difficult time solving the puzzle. He spent close to a month trying to find the best solution to resolve the cube.
Today, experts can resolve the cube in 20 moves or less. Here are some interesting facts about the world’s most popular puzzle toy:
#1 - Close to 400 million cubes have been sold!
#2 - The first Rubik’s Cube was sold in 1975.
#3 - The Rubik’s Cube has six surfaces, each one being colored differently. The colors used are orange, yellow, red, white, blue and green. There are 26 cubes that can be moved around without destroying the outer cube.
#4 - The world’s first Rubik’s Cube World Championship was held in Budapest in 1982. Minh Thai from the USA was the first winner with a winning time of 22.95 seconds. His record is slow by today’s standards. Lucas Etter was the first competitor to solve the cube in less than 5 seconds.
