Pages : 162
Book Description
A visual icon and a global phenomenon. The Rubik's® Cube was created in 1974 by Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian architecture professor. Rubik later used the Cube as a learning exercise to teach his students about three-dimensional spaces. Little did he know his 'magic cube' (as he originally named it) would become one of the most famous puzzles of all time! By the 1980s, the Rubik's Cube was a worldwide craze, selling millions every year and cementing its pop culture legacy. It featured in - among many others - The Simpsons, The Big Bang Theory, a Spice Girls video and major Hollywood movies: the six famous colours were everywhere. The popularity of the Rubik's Cube continued - and continues - to grow around the world. Harry Styles featured the Cube in the visuals (and merch!) for his last tour, and it appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, as well as Young Sheldon, Disney's Moon Knight and Wednesday on Netflix. Today, the Rubik's Cube is acknowledged as one of the most beloved toys of all time. Each year, millions are sold, solved, and shared among friends, families and puzzle seekers alike. Perfect for all fans of the Cube, this book is a vibrant celebration of this iconic toy, with great quotes, fascinating stats and facts, fun photos and plenty of nostalgia inside. Includes a foreword by Ernő Rubik.

Cracking the Cube
Author: Ian Scheffler
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501121944
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Ian Scheffler, journalist and aspiring “speedcuber,” attempts to break into the international phenomenon of speedsolving the Rubik’s Cube—think chess played at the speed of Ping-Pong—while exploring the greater lessons that can be learned through solving it. When Hungarian professor Ernő Rubik invented the Rubik’s Cube (or, rather, his Cube) in 1974 out of wooden blocks, rubber bands, and paper clips, he didn’t even know if it could be solved, let alone that it would become the world’s most popular puzzle. Since its creation, the Cube has become many things to many people: one of the bestselling children’s toys of all time, a symbol of intellectual prowess, a frustrating puzzle with 43.2 quintillion possible permutations, and now a worldwide sporting phenomenon that is introducing the classic brainteaser to a new generation. In Cracking the Cube, Ian Scheffler reveals that cubing isn’t just fun and games. Along with participating in speedcubing competitions—from the World Championship to local tournaments—and interviewing key figures from the Cube’s history, he journeys to Budapest to seek a meeting with the legendary and notoriously reclusive Rubik, who is still tinkering away with puzzles in his seventies. Getting sucked into the competitive circuit himself, Scheffler becomes engrossed in solving Rubik’s Cube in under twenty seconds, the quasi-mystical barrier known as “sub-20,” which is to cubing what four minutes is to the mile: the difference between the best and everyone else. As Scheffler learns from the many gurus who cross his path, from pint-sized kids to engineering professors, it’s not just about memorizing algorithms or even solving all six sides—it’s about discovering how to solve yourself.
