The Rubik's Cube is a 3D combination puzzle invented by Ernő Rubik in 1974. It has become one of the world's best-selling puzzles and is a symbol of problem-solving and creativity.
Rubik's cubes come in many variations that differ in size, shape, and complexity. Here’s a breakdown of the types:
1. Standard Cubes
Traditional Cubes
2x2x2 (Pocket Cube): Simplest cube, with 8 corner pieces only.
3x3x3 (Original Rubik's Cube): The classic version, with 26 moving parts.
4x4x4 (Rubik's Revenge): Adds more complexity with no fixed centerpieces.
5x5x5 (Professor's Cube): Adds even more layers and difficulty.
Larger cubes like 6x6x6, 7x7x7, and beyond also exist, including custom versions like the 17x17x17 cube.
2. Shape Variants
Shape Mods
Mirror Cube: Pieces differ in size and shape instead of color, solved by aligning shapes.
Ghost Cube: An asymmetric version where alignment is tricky due to irregular shapes.
Fisher Cube: A modified 3x3x3 cube with shifted axes.
Pyraminx: A pyramid-shaped puzzle with 4 triangular faces.
Megaminx: A dodecahedron with 12 faces, each having its own color.
Skewb Cube: A cube with diagonal cuts through its faces, offering a unique solving challenge.
3. Non-Cubic Variants
Mastermorphix: A pillow-shaped 3x3x3 mod that adds complexity through shape.
Cylindrical or Barrel Cubes: Cylindrical versions of standard cubes, where shape matters.
Ivy Cube: Petal-like pieces make it visually distinct and straightforward to solve.
