Twist and Turn

We have many uses for colors in the world- not only for the serious stuff like stop lights and identification purposes, but also the fun things like crayons and fashion! In the mid-1970′s, a really smart architect from Hungary named Erno Rubik found a way to use colors in a way that is both fun and serious. He invented a toy that he called the “magic cube”, but later on took the name after its creator and is now known to the whole world as the “Rubik’s cube”, the best-selling toy in history (move over, Barbie!) that earns the fascination of kids and adults alike.
The traditional Rubik’s cube is a puzzle shaped in the form of a cube, composed of six sides, twenty-six pieces and six different colors – red, white, yellow, blue, orange and green. Each side of the cube takes on one color, and the main goal is keep rotating the sides of the cube so that in the end, each side takes one solid color. It is not only a fun toy, it’s also a math puzzle…all neatly packaged in a colorful little cube :-)
