An Interactive 'Rubiks Cube' Doodle is Google's tribute to its 40th Anniversary!

Google is constantly been on the lookout of cool and innovative ways to bring newer doodles to celebrate momentous events of history and today's doodle is one such great one.

The original cube was created by in 1974, when Erno Rubik, a young professor of architecture in Budapest, Hungary,  created an innovative solid cube that twisted and turned but did not break or fall apart.

The first model was used to help him explain spatial relationships to his students. With colourful stickers on its sides, the cube got scrambled and thus emerged as the first 'Rubik's Cube.' with nine coloured squares on each face. The object is to move the pieces around until each side of the cube is a solid colour.

The original Rubik's Cube - which won "toy of the year" in Britain in 1980 was as a mobile sculpture symbolising the stark contrasts of the human condition-bewildering problems and triumphant intelligence, simplicity and complexity, stability and dynamism, order and chaos-it ended up becoming the world's best-selling toy ever.
