19 May 2014 :: Google has celebrated the 40th birthday of the Rubik’s Cube with an animated doodle.
The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik, a Hungarian architect, who wanted a working model to help explain three-dimensional geometry. He fashioned the first cube himself, hand-carving the ‘cubelets’. It took him one month before he was able to solve the Cube for himself.
