A picture of a Rubik's Cube- a 3-D mechanical puzzle about the size of an apple with 6 sides of small cubes in blue, white, yellow, red, orange and green.

The legendary Rubik's cube was created by Hungarian Ernő Rubik in the 1974. Over 300 million have been sold.

25 years after reaching legendary status, the Rubik's Cube is at a whole new level of cool and quickness. At speedcubing competitions around the world, young people are clamoring to see who can solve their cubes the fastest. One record was set at just under 8 seconds. COOL couldn’t believe it, so we headed off to the ‘Aachen Open 2009’ to see for ourselves.
