Rubik's 3 x 3 Cube

Rubik's 3 x 3 Cube

Intermediate Puzzle

The original Rubik’s Cube is designed with six colors: red, blue, white, green, orange, and yellow and is made of plastic components. Originally called the Magic Cube, the Rubik’s Cube was designed in 1974 by Ernõ Rubik, a Hungarian professor, to help his students understand three-dimensional problems. The six sides have nine smaller squares on each face that can be scrambled, twisted and matched to solve the puzzle. Initially the puzzle had colored stickers but now the plastic squares to avoid fading, peeling and cheating.
