Few can master the Rubik's Cube at the speed Anthony Brooks can. It is said that an estimated one in seven people worldwide have got to grips with the challenging toy. Designed in 1974, the 40-year-old toy completes 40 years. "Most of my adult life I spent with the cube because I was only 30 (years old) when I created it. And right now, after 40 years I can say: 'I know the cube, I know what happened around the cube,'" Erno Rubik, the inventor of the cube, said in an interview to Reuters. On the 40th anniversary of Rubik's Cube invention, here we bring you interesting tributes to the cube:
