Rubik’s Cube is a puzzle invented by Professor Erno Rubik of Hungary. He made the first version of the cube in 1974. Initially, Rubik designed the cube to help his students understand three-dimensional challenges. Soon he realized that his invention was also a challenging puzzle! The Cube was initially called Magic Cube, but this was later changed to Rubik’s Cube when it became popular worldwide as a speed cube. In 1980, Rubik’s Cube was officially launched at an international toy fair and quickly grew into a worldwide phenomenon.
