Puzzles by Maker > Rubik's
 In 1980, Ideal Toys considered renaming the Magic Cube 'The Gordian Knot'! Then somebody suggested 'Rubik's Cube' - and the rest is history! Over 100 million Rubik's Cubes were sold in the period 1980-1982 and over 300 million to date. Did you know that 'Rubik's Cube' is now an official part of the English language with an entry in the Oxford Dictionary?
The original 3x3 Cube has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different possible configurations. One, and only one, of these possibilities presents the 'solved' Cube, having a single color on each of its 6 sides. If you allow one second for each turn, it would take you 1400 million million years to go through ALL the possible configurations. In comparison, the whole universe is only 14 thousand million years old.
