Happy 40th Anniversary!!!
Remember the Rubik's Cube? That 3-D combination puzzle that was the big craze in the 1980’s? It was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ern? Rubin and was originally called the Magic Cube. In 1980 the Rubik Cube won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle and since then it is estimated that between 350 - 400 million have been sold.
A Rubik's Cube has six sides, each a different color (traditionally blue, green, orange, red, white, and yellow). Each side of a traditional Rubik's Cube consisted of nine squares, in a three by three grid pattern. Of the 54 squares on the cube, 48 of them could move (the centers on each side were stationary).
There are websites you can go to that will show you how to solve the puzzle but even with that, it is estimated that less than 6% of the world’s population can solve the puzzle.
Today there are many “speed-cubers” who compete for completing the puzzle in the fastest time. A robot made of Legos solved the Rubik's Cube in 3.253 seconds.
The quickest time to solve a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube by a human is 3.47 seconds by Yusheng Du at the Wuhu Open 2018 in Wuhu, Anhui province, China, on 24 November 2018. This is the first sub-4-second solve of a cube by a human in a World Cube Association event. Similar to Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile 66 years ago, right?
