The ubiquitous 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube was invented in the mid-1970s by Ernő Rubik at Budapest’s Academy of Applied Arts and Crafts. “Bűvös kocka” is the translation of “Magic Cube”. Because Ideal Toy Co. wanted a recognisable name to trademark for its release, it was renamed the Rubik’s Cube (“Rubik-kocka” in Hungarian).
In a speed-cubing competition, Feliks Zemdegs of Australia solved a standard 3x3x3 cube in 4.73 seconds. Zemdegs’ record for the 4x4x4 cube is 21.24 seconds.

ToC projection update:
With a projected 76 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 250,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.2493 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.3512).
An average of 5.1424 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5745).
An early cutoff took place 17.291% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Alan Lin qualified 67.598% of the time.
Tim Kutz qualified 55.887% of the time.
Todd Giese qualified 9.176% of the time.
Rob Liguori qualified 1.280% of the time.
Fred Vaughn qualified 0.195% of the time.
(Note: Due to the possibility of a WGA strike, I fiteel that is more accurate for ToC projections to add 20 games to the end of the previous projected qualifying period.)
