The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian Professor Erno Rubik. It launched worldwide in 1980 and became the world’s best-selling toy ever with over 300 million sold.
The Rubik’s Cube has 43 quintillion (43,252,003,274,489,856,000) possible configurations and only ONE solution. If you made a single turn of the Cube every second, it would take you 1,400 million million years to go through all possible configurations (or 100,000 times longer than the universe has existed).
The current World Record holder for fastest Rubik’s Cube solution is 17-year-old Toby Mao, who set a time of 10.48 seconds at the US National Championships in August 2006. Now Gizmodo has published instructions on how to solve the Rubik’s Cube in 6 seconds flat.
