The one thing that I love more than books or movies is a nice Rubik’s cube! It’s as colourful as it is entertaining and it is THE best cure for boredom ever! Well…at least for me and the rest of the nerd population 
Now 5 things that I have found about Rubik’s cubes that I never knew about but do now and want to share with the rest of you are:
- It was invented in 1974 by a Hungarian sculptor and architectural professor Ernő Rubik. It was invented by him for the sole purpose of an easier way to explain 3-D geometry.
- It was originally called “Magic Cube”
- There is probably a 100 different Rubik’s cube models existing to this date!
This is a picture of some of the Rubik’s cube models that I own:
4. Aside from the regular speed-solving competitions there have been alternative competitions too, such as:
- Blindfolded solving
- Team Blindfold, where you solve the cube with one person blindfolded and the other person saying what moves to do
- Solving underwater in a single breath
- Solving using a single hand
- Solving with your feet
5. Cubaholics (such as myself 
) are said to suffer from Rubik’s wrist or thub from playing with cube way too much!
