Cube
Invented in 1974,patented in 1975 it was put on the market in Hungary in 1977. It did not really begin it's infamous popularity until 1981. By 1982 10 million cubes had been sold in Hungary, more than the population of the country. It is estimated that 100 million were sold world-wide.
The cube consists of 3 x 3 x 3 smaller cubes which are colored so that the 6 faces of the large cube have 6 distinct colors. The 9 cubes forming one face can be rotated through 45 rotations. There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different arrangements of the small cubes, only one of these arrangements being the initial position where all colors match on each of the six sides.
Solving this puzzle involves both sides of the brain as you must be able to previsualize spatially the final result while you remember where you've been in the sequence of rotations. Though a very difficult puzzle, it is a good exercise for brain flexing whether you accomplish the final result or not.
