The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Ernõ Rubik, a Hungarian architecture professor. Rubik later used the Cube as a learning exercise to teach his students about 3-dimensional spaces. Little did he know his “Magic Cube” (as he originally named it) would become one of world’s most famous puzzles of all time!

As a preteen, Max Park couldn't unscrew the cap of a water bottle, let alone try to tackle a Rubik's cube.

He lacked the fine motor skills, a symptom of his autism. Now, at 21, Max can solve a Rubik's cube in less time than it takes to read this sentence.

On 11th June 2023, Max Park solved the cube in 3.13 seconds.

When Ernõ Rubik invented the cube, he wasn't sure it could ever be solved. Mathematicians later calculated that there are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 ways to arrange the squares, but just one of those combinations is correct.

That number in words is, Forty-three quintillion, two hundred fifty two quadrillion, three trillion, two hundred seventy four billion, four hundred eighty nine million, eight hundred fifty-six thousand.

The largest Rubik's Cube is 2.503 m x 2.505 m x 2.502 m and was achieved by NINA MALL (China) in Hong Kong SAR, China on 28 March 2021.
