How many of you were caught up in the Rubik Cube craze in the 70s ?
For the benefit of any who have been living in a cave for the past 3 decades, the Rubik's Cube is a 3D 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.
Of course, over the years following this introduction of this puzzle, there were many variants released by others, e.g. 5x5x5 cubes, ball-shaped, numbered squares rather than colours, etc. However, I suspect the original Rubik Cube is still the most popular.
I admit I've had a go at this puzzle, but have never gotten very far. Solved it once or twice, with a lot of coaching (usually by young kids :-) ... but I wouldn't in my wildest dreams claim that I've mastered it.
Share your experiences with the Rubik Cube or any other puzzles you were familiar with ...
