Human: **Rubik's Cube** was created by Hungarian sculptor Ernö Rubik in 1974. The original design, called Magic Cube, quickly became popular after Ideal Toy Corp. sold it in 1980 through Tibor Laczi and Tom Kremer's company, Seven Towns. Winning the German Game of the Year award for Best Puzzle in 1980 solidified its popularity worldwide. Each of the six sides on a classic Rubik's Cube had nine stickers of six different colors: white, red, blue, green, orange, and yellow. The latest design replaced these stickers with colored plastic panels to prevent fading and peeling. Today's models feature the same color combinations as their early versions, where each side is divided by lines of a specific color arrangement. Rubik designed the puzzle to turn each face independently, enabling colors to be mixed up in all six sides simultaneously. To solve the cube, each side must eventually return to display only one color. Variations of the classic Rubik's Cube have since emerged with additional sides, different dimensions, and other modifications not created by Ernö Rubik. In recent years, speedcubers continue to develop skills on Rubik's Cube, pushing the limits on time efficiency while participating in international competitions governed by the World Cube Association. The organization recognized world records for these puzzles as of 2003. Frank Fox had filed an amusement device patent on April 9, 1970. In this patented design, users play a game called Noughts and Crosses (also known as Tic-Tac-Toe). Frank was awarded his UK Patent in January 1974. As an instructor at Budapest's Department of Interior Design in the mid-1970s, Ernö Rubik aimed to find a creative solution that could easily hold different elements while being independently rotated. During his free time, he tried his hand at building such devices until successfully creating what would become the now world-famous cube. Ernő patented the invention in January 1975 but waited for three years before first batches were manufactured and sold commercially worldwide starting from Hungary and London as late as January of 1980. A decade prior to it’s official debut Larry Nichols invented an initial, miniature model. Over several attempts that led up to a version deemed good enough, various Western-made manufacturing changes significantly influenced this new version being exported internationally after May 20th, of 80. Due to certain design limitations of older units manufactured during its rise towards prominence such restrictions forced many manufacturers into developing better or slightly altered units based on different features. The name given for this specific design would not officially change again even years after numerous Chinese-made versions with distinct similarities started to show themselves both as alternatives to and upgrades upon traditional, classic versions created by Ernő. In an ongoing process since their invention patent protections expired and companies began releasing updated versions often featuring advanced technology used within newer pieces
