帮您找了点 The Rubik's Cube 的英文介绍资料,
The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik.Originally called the "Magic Cube",the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp.in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year.As of January 2009,350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game.It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
In a classic Rubik's Cube,each of the six faces is covered by nine stickers,among six solid colours (traditionally white,red,blue,orange,green,and yellow).A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently,thus mixing up the colours.For the puzzle to be solved,each face must be a solid colour.Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers,not all of them by Rubik.The original 3×3×3 version celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2010.
Rubik's invention
In the mid-1970s,Ernő Rubik worked at the Department of Interior Design at the Academy of Applied Arts and Crafts in Budapest.Although it is widely reported that the Cube was built as a teaching tool to help his students understand 3D objects,his actual purpose was solving the structural problem of moving the parts independently without the entire mechanism falling apart.He did not realize that he had created a puzzle until the first time he scrambled his new Cube and then tried to restore it.Rubik obtained Hungarian patent HU170062 for his "Magic Cube" in 1975.Rubik's Cube was first called the Magic Cube (Bűvös kocka) in Hungary.The puzzle had not been patented internationally within a year of the original patent.Patent law then prevented the possibility of an international patent.Ideal wanted at least a recognizable name to trademark; of course,that arrangement put Rubik in the spotlight because the Magic Cube was renamed after its inventor.
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 prevented the puzzle being easily pulled apart,unlike the magnets in Nichols's design.In September 1979,a deal was signed with Ideal to bring the Magic Cube to the Western world,and the puzzle made its international debut at the toy fairs of London,Paris,Nuremberg and New York in January and February 1980.
After its international debut,the progress of the Cube towards the toy shop shelves of the West was briefly halted so that it could be manufactured to Western safety and packaging specifications.A lighter Cube was produced,and Ideal decided to rename it."The Gordian Knot" and "Inca Gold" were considered,but the company finally decided on "Rubik's Cube",and the first batch was exported from Hungary in May 1980.Taking advantage of an initial shortage of Cubes,many imitations appeared.
