Hungarian puzzle enthusiast and teacher
"The Rubik's Cube is an iconic puzzle that has permeated pop culture and captivated fans for more than 40 years,"
According to "Cubed: The Puzzle of Us All," a book published in 2018, Rubik says the cube has attracted more attention than he ever imagined.
"It is a curious fact — one that surprises me as much as anyone — that for so many decades during a time of an unprecedented technological revolution, fascination with such a simple low-tech object has survived," Rubik wrote.
For those who haven't seen or touched a Rubik's Cube, it can be described as a cube made up of smaller cubes that rotate around a central core..
The big cube begins with each of its faces made up of squares of the same colour — usually three by three by three.
The challenge is to give the cubes a spin and then try to get them back to their original configuration — a surprisingly difficult thing to do given the number of possible configurations.
The Rubik deal is expected to close on
