The Cube is an imitation of life itself --or even an improvement on life. The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life, our whole life is solving puzzles. If you are hungry, you have to find something to eat. But everyday problems are very mixed--they're not clear. The Cube's problem depends just on you. You can solve it independently. But to find happiness in life, you're not independent. That's the only big difference.

The Rubik's Cube, is a mechanical puzzle designed by Ernő Rubik in 1974. It was originally called the "Magic Cube", but was renamed to "Rubik's Cube" in 1980. It is said to be the world's best-selling toy, with over 300,000,000 Rubik's Cubes and imitations sold worldwide.

A regular Rubik's Cube is covered by nine stickers on each side, to form six solid coloured faces. A solved cube consists of each face being a different 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.

There are a number of various style of the puzzles. There is the Mini Cube (2x2x2), Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4), and the Professor Cube (5x5x5). Each one provides a different challenge, and require different solving techniques. Even larger cubes (6x6x6 and 7x7x7) are planned for the future.
