[ 2 ] While Rubik became famous for inventing the Rubik's Cube and his other puzzles, much of his recent work involves the promotion of science in education.
The Rubik's Cube was inducted into the US National Toy Hall of Fame in 2014. [14] On the original, classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces was covered by nine stickers, with each face in one of six solid colours: white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow.

In 1957, 17 years before Dr. Rubik’s invention popularly known as the “Rubik's Cube”, Dr. Nichols conceived of a twist cube puzzle with six colored faces. It was a 2×2×2 cube assembled from eight unit cubes with magnets on their inside faces, allowing the cubes to rotate in groups of four around three axes.
Over a span of years, Gilles Roux developed his own method to solve the 3x3x3 cube. Using a smaller quantity of memorized algorithms than most methods of solving, Roux still found his method to be fast and efficient. The first step of the Roux method is to form a 3×2×1 block.
Petrus invented three simple and flexible algorithms to complete the last three steps, which he named Niklas, Sune, and Allan. While the method stands alone as an efficient system for solving the Rubik's Cube, many modifications have been made over the years to stay on the cutting edge of competitive speedcubing. Many more algorithms have been ...
Uwe Mèffert. Uwe Mèffert (28 November 1939 [1] –30 April 2022) was a German puzzle designer and inventor. He manufactured and sold mechanical puzzles in the style of Rubik's Cube since the Cube craze of the 1980s.
A six-year-old girl from China has set a new women’s world record for solving the 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube in 5.97 seconds. Cao Qixian, of China’s Jiangsu Province, achieved the feat at the Rubik ...
In June 2016 Fisher also created the world's smallest functioning Rubik's Cube which measured only 5.6 millimetres on each side. [11] [12] In December 2017 he unveiled a Rubik’s Cube which was made from 95% ice. [13] His other creations include a Rubik's Cube made from candles; one made from cheese; and one made from chocolate. [5] [14]
