It took the inventor of the Rubik’s Cube a whole month to solve it!

The Rubik cube is named after its inventor, Erno Rubik. Rubik was an architect and sculptor, and his free time was spent working as a professor at the Academy of Applied Art and Design in Budapest designing puzzles that would make his students take a new perspective with regard to 3-D geometry.

What we know today as the Rubik puzzle – saw its first prototype designed on Rubik’s 30th birthday. This challenge was not an easy affair even for its inventor. He spent a whole month trying to solve it and he found it, not to be a nuisance or challenge that many think of it, but rather a fascinating, fun yet frustrating activity.
It was then that he passed it on to others to try it out and the sentiment was the same. And Rubik soon came to the realization that he had made an amazing invention that would keep mankind engaged.
