Introduction

The Birth of a Puzzle Phenomenon

In 1974, Hungarian architect and professor Ernő Rubik invented a three-dimensional puzzle initially dubbed the "Magic Cube." Designed as a teaching tool to help students understand spatial relationships, this ingenious creation featured a cube with rotating faces, each composed of nine smaller squares adorned in six distinct colors. Unbeknownst to Rubik at the time, his invention would transcend its educational purpose to become a global sensation, captivating millions with its complexity and charm.
