40th anniversary of the Rubik's cube.



Today is the 40th anniversary of the 3x3 Rubik's cube. On 1974 today the cube was created by Erno Rubik, cubing has come a very long way since then. Ever since this puzzle started grabbing its worldwide audience, everyone has been intrigued by one thing about this puzzle:"How do you solve it?".
The curiosity about the cube turned it into the number one most sold toy in the world. Speed cubing communities emerged and created an association which holds large cubing events all across the globe. World records have been set and hundreds of other companies have been inspired to make 3D puzzles.
And today, Google has honored this day with a brand new interactive Google doodle which can reach thousands of people around the world and even maybe boost its already incredibly large popularity.
my high score on the doodle was 2:23.
