"Since its global launch in 1980 the Rubik’s Cube has cemented itself firmly as a retro icon, now it really is a glowing example of cool."
Number Puzzles will really test the reader's maths skills, including everything from simple number squares to punishing number patterns.
The Magic Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian architecture professor Erno Rubik. After being reâ€launched in 1980 as the Rubik's Cube, it sold an estimated 350 million around the world.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary in 2014 of the Rubik cube, there is a special exhibition of the toy puzzle. Titled Beyond Rubik's Cube, it explores the humble beginnings of the cube, showing its first prototypes made out of wood and rubber bands.
The exhibition will travel to the UK and there are a range of books released set to challenge and engage young minds.
