Today is the 40th anniversary of the creation of what has become one of the most famous edu-toy of all time, the Rubik’s cube. The Rubik’s cube, although mostly seen as a toy, has helped improved the reasoning and speed of many. ย Googleย has created an animated doodle replica in honor of the brain teaser.
Take a moment to click on the cube shown onย the Google homepage today, and its faces will get randomly mixed up, probably rendering youย unable to work for a couple hours beforeย you give up.
Something specialย happens when you solve the cube, but for obvious reasons you’ll have to figure that one out for yourself. Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernล Rubik invented the Rubik’s Cube in 1974.
PS: However complicated it might be, a Rubik’s cube can typically be solved in 20 moves. Tell us what happens when you solve it. Enjoy.
