40th anniversary of Rubik's Cube invention

In 1974, while a young professor of architecture in Budapest, Hungary, Erno Rubik created an innovative solid cube that twisted and turned but did not break or fall apart.
The first model was used to help him explain spatial relationships to his students. With colourful stickers on its sides, the cube got scrambled and thus emerged as the first 'Rubik's Cube.'



It took well over a month for Rubik to work out the solution to his puzzle. Designed primarily as a mobile sculpture symbolising the stark contrasts of the human condition-bewildering problems and triumphant intelligence, simplicity and complexity, stability and dynamism, order and chaos-it ended up becoming the world's best-selling toy ever.
The original Rubik's Cube - which won "toy of the year" in Britain in 1980 - is plastic, with nine coloured squares on each face.
