A Rubik's cube is a puzzle in which there are miniature cube-like modules arranged in a cubic fashion. The Rubik's cube was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik of Hungary, who gave it the modern name of Rubik's cube. It was first called the Magic Cube, and it won the German Game of the Year in the puzzles category. The most common one is Rubik's Cube has 27 mini cubes, with edges of 3 cubes each. It is possible to disassemble this cube by rotating a side 1/8 of a turn and using a screwdriver or other flat object to wedge out the edge piece. However, solving a Rubik's cube in this manner is usually known as cheating. It is very useful to disassemble the cube and apply petroleum jelly to the inner tabs of the mini cubes, and also to any other surface that is exposed to friction. This lubricates the cube so that you can solve it faster. It is still a popular and challenging puzzle to this date.
