Rubik’s Cube is a 3-D puzzle game that became famous at the beginning of the 1970s. It was invented<\/a> by Hungarian designer and professor, Ern\u00f6 Rubik. At first, he used the cube<\/a> to teach his students about logical movements<\/a>. They were thrilled<\/a> and realized that solving<\/a> the puzzle was actually<\/a> fun. A few years later, Rubik started selling his new puzzle in Hungary and later on worldwide. By 1980, two hundred million cubes had been sold.<\/p>\n\n

The cube has six sides of coloured blocks. The three rows of each side can be moved in any direction<\/a>. The puzzle is finished when each side of the cube has only one colour. In order to solve it, you need a lot of practice, as well as mental<\/a> and physical<\/a> skills<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Over the decades<\/a>, there have been many speed cube competitions<\/a>, in which people try to solve the puzzle as fast as they can. At the moment, it takes the best players 4 seconds to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
