Magic Cube High Speed 8 Types Smooth 3D Combination IQ Twist Puzzle Toy Gift Box 2x2 Cube/3x3x3 Cube/Mirror Cube/Skew Cube/SQ1 Cube/Pyraminx/Megaminx/Rice Dumpling Cube Rubik's Cube is a 3D combination puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik. Originally called the Magic Cube, the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp in 1980 via businessman Tibor Laczi and Seven Towns founder Tom Kremer. The Rubik's Cube won the 1980 German Game Of The Year special award for Best Puzzle. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes had been sold worldwide, making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
On the original classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces was covered by nine stickers, each of one of six solid colors: white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow. Some current versions of the cube have been updated to use colored plastic panels instead, which prevents peeling and fading. In currently sold models, white is opposite yellow, blue is opposite green, and orange is opposite red, and the red, white, and blue are arranged in that order in a clockwise arrangement. On early cubes, the position of the colors varied from cube to cube. An internal pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colors. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be returned to have only one color. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of sides, dimensions, and stickers. Although the Rubik's Cube reached its height of mainstream popularity in the 1980s, it is still widely known and used. Many Speedcubers continue to practice it and similar puzzles; they also compete for the fastest times in various categories. Since 2003, the Rubik's Cube's international governing body, has organised competitions worldwide and recognises world records.
