50 Years of Rubik's Cube

1414 people gather in London, England to simultaneously solve the Rubik’s Cube, setting a new world record. More than 30 years after its creation, the Rubik’s Cube makes an appearance in The Pursuit of Happyness featuring Will Smith. Continuing to captivate the public’s attention, Rubik’s Cube makes its first appearance on the mega-popular show, The Simpsons.
