The world's most famous puzzle
is the still the best selling puzzle of all time! Special packaging and
collectable base included. Billions of combinations, only one solution.
The date is 1974. The place is Budapest, Hungary. Erno Rubik, an
admirer of geometry and 3-D forms creates the world's most perfect --
and addictive -- puzzle. More than three decades later the Rubik's cube
is still one of the best selling brainteasers. Whether it was full size
or the smaller keychain version almost every child had this puzzle by
in 1980 when it found worldwide success. Elementary school kids were
seen solving it with their feet on "That's Incredible!", conspiracy
theorists believed it was an Eastern bloc tactic to distract American
youth from getting an education, and Cubaholics Anonymous was formally
established to help cure the compulsive need to solve it.
For all of the hullabaloo, the Rubik’s Cube actually has a pretty
straightforward premise. The faces of the cube are covered by nine
stickers in six solid colors (one for each 2.25" side); when the puzzle
is solved, each face is one solid color. Then you realize as you turn
the rows and columns and see all the colors flash by that there are 43
quintillion possible pattern combinations (that’s 43 million millions),
but just one right one. Maybe Cubaholics Anonymous wasn’t such a bad
idea after all…. This Rubik’s Cube has reflective red, white,
blue, yellow, green, and orange colored stickers with an official
twenty-fifth anniversary sticker in the center white square.
