The [[3x3x3 cube]] (also known as "[[Rubik's]] cube" and "magic cube") was invented by [[Ernő Rubik]] in 1974, and was quickly unveiled in the early 1980s.
 +
 
 +
This is a mechanical and geometric puzzle composed of with 26 elements (called [[cubie]]s), which can be moved with a system of axes, that is hidden in the center of the cube. Each of the six [[face]]s is covered by 9 [[sticker]]s, among six solid colours (traditionally being white, yellow, orange, red, blue, and green). The system of axes enables each layer to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be [[solve]]d, each face must be a solid colour.
 +
 
 +
It is said to be the world's best-selling toy, with over 350 millions cubes sold worldwide as of 2009.
 +
 
 +
It has inspired many widely available variations such the [[2×2×2]], the [[3×3×3]], the [[4×4×4]], the [[5×5×5]], [[big cube|larger sizes ones]], the [[Pyraminx]] (tetrahedron), the [[Skewb Diamond]] (octahedron), the [[Megaminx]] (dodecahedron) or the [[Dogic]] (icosahedron). All of these items belong to a broad category of puzzles commonly referred to as "[[twisty puzzle]]s". Some [[twisty puzzle]]s are [[shape-shifting]] (such as the [[Square One]]) or [[custom-built]] (such as [[shape modification]]s of existing mechanisms).

Today's featured article

Today's featured article is 2x2x2 Cube.

The 2x2x2 Cube (also known as a Pocket Cube or Mini Cube and normally referred to as the 2x2x2 or 2x2) is a twisty puzzle in the shape of a cube that is cut once along each of three axes.

This puzzle only has 8 colored/solvable pieces: 8 corner pieces. The 2x2x2 cube has 3,674,160 possible positions (assuming one piece is always solved from orienting the puzzle), each of which can be solved in 11 turns (HTM) / 14 turns (QTM) or fewer.

All of these items belong to a broad category of puzzles commonly referred to as "twisty puzzles". Some twisty puzzles are shape-shifting (such as the Square One) or custom-built (such as shape modifications of existing mechanisms).
