Google Doodle
Rubic's Cube
40 years, pretty soon Rubic's Cube with be wearing his pants higher and yelling at kids for playing on his grass.
It is the 40th
anniversary of this mind-f' puzzle. I remember the nerdy kids at
school showing off their skills by solving these damn cubes. I
believe I had a few of these back in the day and being too stupid to
solve these things. These were for the super nerds and not people
like me. This was the non-electronic version of Simon.
So, yeah I tried
playing this thing on Google
and got no where. BTW, I still play the Google Pac-Man doodle
from time to time. Note: I kind of think the cube from Hellraiser is
based on this thing.
Someone already made one.
Also remembered
the Pyraminx? The Pyramid version? I always thought the Pyraminx
was just a copy of the Cube and made by the same people. However, I
was wrong. From the
Pyraminx wiki, ((It
was invented and patented by Uwe
Mèffertbefore
the original 3 layered Rubik's Cube by Erno
Rubik,
and introduced by Tomy Toys of Japan (then the 3rd largest toy
company in the world) in 1981.

Side Story:
There is an unpleasant story about my dickish father and a Rubic's
Cube. I believe this happened years before I was born. My mother,
being a nice person, bought a Cube for my father. He played around
with it for a few hours and got frustrated with the puzzle. Out of rage, he threw the Cube hard into a wall,
destroying the Cube. My mother was hurt by the action and vowed
never to give him a random gift again. Yeah, he was that sort of
prick.
