https://upfile.neungyule.com/upload_admin/2024/07/988_p14.jpgFor decades, the Rubik¡¯s Cube has entertained—and frustrated—generations of children around the world. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the world¡¯s most beloved toy puzzle.

The Rubik¡¯s Cube was invented by Hungarian architect Erno Rubik. Rubik was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1944 to an engineer father and poet mother. From a young age, he loved to draw and sculpt, and this passion for hands-on art led him to study architecture at university.

After graduating, Rubik got a job as an architecture professor. In his classes, he encouraged students to think creatively about shapes and space. He even designed his own models to let students explore these concepts.

One day, Rubik had an idea for a model that could be configured in different ways while maintaining its original shape. After tinkering with the design, he ended up with a movable three-column cube.

Rubik painted each side of the cube a single color to help students visualize the movements. He then mixed up the cube, but when he tried to put it back, he found it nearly impossible. It took him a month to solve the puzzle!

Rubik¡¯s creation was a hit with his students. Realizing its potential, he patented the ¡°Magic Cube¡± in 1974. He tried to find manufacturers for his toy, but no one was interested.

Then, in 1977, he traveled to Germany for the Nuremberg Toy Fair. There, he met a game designer named Tom Kremer, who loved the idea and helped Rubik to strike a deal with a toy company in the United States.

In 1980, the Rubik¡¯s Cube made its official debut. Almost overnight, it became an international sensation, selling millions of units and giving rise to competitive ¡°speedcubing¡± competitions all over the world.

Since its launch, over 500 million Rubik¡¯s Cubes have been sold. It remains a popular toy even today.
