A puzzle made famous in the 80's, died out in the 90's due to video games, and resurfaced in the 00's when the internet gave solutions. Rubik's brand cube's are known to be the worst 3x3 cubes available. They are stiff and hard to turn. Independent companies (mainly chinese) make DIY cubes. These are smooth, fast, and are what "cubers" use (people who solve the cube). The Rubik's Cube is the hardest thing to do solo, but the easiest to do with a tutorial. Don't believe anyone who says they solved it in under 2 months with no help. The Fridrich Method (CFOP) is the most popular and fastest method out. The current world record and world record average use this method. The WCA (like the NBA, but for cubes) keeps track of every solve ever done in a competition. Current world record is 7.08 seconds, and average of 5 solves is 8.54. You don't have to be smart to learn to solve it, but you have to be determined, like juggling.
David: I can solve the Rubik's cube in under 17 seconds every time.

When you buy one, take a good fucking look at it because you will NEVER (and I fucking mean EVER) see it like that again. 300,000,000 (three hundred million) have been sold worldwide since 1980 (100,000,000 from '80-'82), making it the best selling individual toy ever. David Singmaster and Alexander Frey developed a way to solve the puzzle in 25 moves (using computers). It is probably the only puzzle-toy that people have written books about (including the one written by a 12 year old boy that sold 1.5 million copies). Frank Morris holds the record for the fast solving: 15 seconds flat!
The Rubik's cube has been said to have billions of numbers of combinations. But it has also been said to have 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations (I didn't make that up!). How does anyone comprehend that number?!?!
The Rubik's cube is why my sister committed suicide.

The puzzle everyone thinks is impossible to solve... but with a good YouTube video it becomes very easy.
