“If you are curious, you’ll find the puzzles around you. If you are determined, you will solve them.” -Erno Rubik
The puzzle was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik and has become a well loved 'icon' recognised around the world.
In recent years the Rubik's cube has been gaining more and more popularity as it appeals to a new generation and is re-discovered by those who tried to solve it first time around!
National and international ‘speedcubing’ championships have been held regularly since 2003 and the current world record for solving it is less than 10 seconds!!
The original 3x3 cube has led to the creation of many other popular Rubik's puzzles such as the 2x2 cube, the 4x4 cube, the 5x5 cube, the Rubiks' 360, the Rubik's Twist, the Rubik's Magic, and many more.
The Cube has inspired everything from fashion, architecture and music to films, plays and political speeches
