How did erno rubik invent the rubiks cube?

Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian architect and professor of architecture, invented the Rubik's Cube in 1974 as a teaching tool to help explain three-dimensional geometry and spatial relationships to his students. Initially called the "Magic Cube," it was designed to demonstrate how a structure could move while maintaining its integrity. After realizing its potential as a puzzle, he patented the design, and the cube became a global sensation after it was licensed to a toy company in the late 1970s. The Rubik's Cube quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the best-selling puzzles in history.
