The Imaginary Theatre Association and ANGaming presents:
2008 The Puzzle Cube Tournament
.... The power of the cube is here
The
Puzzle Cube or a Rubik's Cube (usually misspelled rubix, rubick's or rubics
cube) is a mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by the Hungarian sculptor
and professor of architecture Erno Rubik. Originally called the "Magic
Cube" by its inventor, this puzzle was renamed "Rubik's Cube"
by Ideal Toys in 1980 and also won the 1980 German Game of the Year special
award for Best Puzzle. It is said to be the world's best-selling toy,
with some 300,000,000 Rubik's Cubes and imitations sold worldwide.
In a typical puzzle cube, each face is covered by nine stickers of one of six solid colors. When the puzzle is solved, each face of the Cube is a solid colour. The Cube celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2005, when a special edition Cube in a presentation box was released, featuring a sticker in the centre of the reflective face (which replaced the white face) with a "Rubik's Cube 1980-2005" logo.
Rubik invented his "Magic Cube" in 1974. The first test batches of the product were produced in late 1977 and released to Budapest toy shops. Magic Cube was held together with interlocking plastic pieces that were less expensive to produce than the magnets in Nichols's design. In September 1979, a deal was signed with Ideal Toys to bring the Magic Cube to the Western world, and the puzzle made its debut at toy fairs in January and February 1980.
The idea behind the Puzzle Cube hasn't evolved since the dark ages of
the early 1980s -- arrange the movable pieces so that each of the puzzle's
six sides is made up of one color. simple right? (bahahah, on to the fun.)
SO with that, at this year ANgaming, we will determine who is the fastest,
the smartest of the Puzzle Cube.
