In 1974, Rubik’s Cube was invented by a young Professor of architecture
in Hungary named Erno Rubik. And there are two different story about how
the first Rubik’s Cube came out.
The first one
written on most of the websites is that Erno Rubik created the cube
completely on his own. And the cube was used to help him explain to his
students about spatial relationships.
The second one
is that it actually was a challenge problem he gave to his students. Surprisingly,
someone succeeded to thought of the structure which enable the cube to be
twisted without falling apart. (in this edition, show that being the first one
who proposed the idea is much more important)
