Rubik`s Cube. The Rubik`s Cube was invented by Erno Rubik from Budapest. It is a puzzle in the form of a cube with nine squares on each face that have to be clicked and arranged into order. The first cubes were sold in Hungarian toyshops in 1977. They were brought to the West in 1979. Rubik`s Cube won prizes for outstanding inventions in Hungary and in 1981 it became an exhibit at the New York Museum of Modern Art. It was UK Toy of the Year in 1980 and 1981. From 1980 to 1982 over a million cubes were sold. The Rubik`s Cube is still popular in the 21st century. In early 2006 an American student completed the puzzle in a record time of 11.13 seconds.
