Love it or hate it, Rubik's Cube is a fascinating puzzle.
Many of us have never solved it, while others can do it in seconds.
A new exhibit at Edmonton's Telus World of Science celebrates the 1974 invention which went on to become one of the most popular puzzle toys ever sold.
Beyond Rubiks Cube is filled with interactive science equipment and learning tools as well as the world's largest working cube and a robot designed to solve the cube in the fewest moves possible.
In the video, CBC video producer John Robertson takes a tour of the exhibit with runs until Feb. 15.
By the way, it only takes 20 moves to solve the puzzle and one 'speedcuber' has done it in a mere 5.55 seconds.
