Google is celebrating one of the greatest toy inventions ever with an interactive Doodle: g.co/doodle/mtwg6d



Rubik's Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik.

It is the world’s best-selling toy ever having sold an estimated 350 million Cubes since its international launch in 1980.

Approximately one in seven people alive have played with a Rubik’s Cube.

It started art movements (Rubikcubism); pop videos, Hollywood movies and even had its own TV show.

It has even been into space.
