Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. 

In the classic Rubik's Cube, each of the cube’s six faces is made up of nine different coloured squares (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently so the colours can be mixing up. The object of the game is to move the squares so that each face is one solid colour.
