		The Magic Cube was invented in 1974 by Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture with an interest in geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.
		The Rubik's Cube is of interest to many mathematicians, partly because it is a tangible representation of a mathematical group.

	Rubik's Magic
		Rubik has recently released it again, this time manufactured by Oddzon, but now it is red with yellow rings.
		One quite rare version of Rubik's Magic was 'Create the Cube', in which the 8 tiles where coloured differently, and the aim was to make the cube shape so that the colours matched.
		Ernö Rubik was granted a US patent on 11 August 1987 (US 4,685,680), but there is an earlier Hungarian patent (19 Mar 1985, HU 1211/85).

		Rubik's original method, aligning the corners first, was one standard approach; another technique was to align the top layer, then clear up the other sides one at a time.

		Whether it's a difficult toy or retro '80s kitsch you're seeking, Rubik's Cube is for you.
		The challenge of Rubik's Cube is simple to explain: take the 3 X 3 X 3 cube (54 squares) of scrambled colored tiles and twist, turn, and rotate the sections until you arrive at a cube with each side having all tiles the same color.
		Rubik's Cube is nearly indestructible (I've seen very strenuous attempts fail utterly) and, for those who do master the main solution, the instruction book offers other challenges (e.g., rearrange the cube so that each side has a center square of one color and all other squares a second color).

		Rubik's Mobile Pipelines is an engrossingly complex, nicely polished puzzler that will absorb hours of your life and prep you for a PhD in high-order math at the same time.
		There are five difficulty levels, and as you proceed up the challenge gradient Rubik and his cronies will start expanding the grid, increasing the number of circles, and varying their placement.
