50 years ago yesterday, a professor in Hungary made a 3d cube to teach his students geometry. It took him a month to solve it. Since then, the Rubik’s cube has been the most sold puzzle of all time, with over 500 million units sold worldwide.
To commemorate this, they made a Rubik’s cube that’s gold or something.

He even proved that adults will play with blocks if you market it correctly.

Jokes aside, I haven't solved a cube in years. I used to know but I forgot. It was fun while it lasted and 3D puzzles in general are neat.

Its a challenge that can be solved, which is why its fun.

Moving from unsolved problem to solved problem is the source of most common entertainment in humans.

Rubic Cube spelled backwards is Ebuc Kibur

Here is Magic Fidget Cube that makes 72 shapes.

Question is, how  many tetrahedra compose this toy?
