19 May marks the birthday of the cube that was initially called Magic Cube, later to be re-named and renowned as Rubik’s Cube. The birthday of one of the most popular puzzles was remembered all over the world as all the localised pages of the Google browser displayed a doodle, an animation right above the search field, with a special cube that you could try your hands at – a way to celebrate the invention of Ern? Rubik. Doodle also offered online games: using a mouse you could turn the sides of the cube, and the results could be checked with the help of a counter. Like so many other doodles, the cube is not lost, and can be found at www.google.com/doodles.
