Did Albert Einstein Solve the Rubik's Cube?

Published in History of Puzzles 1 min read

No, Albert Einstein did not solve the Rubik's Cube.

Here's why:

Fact Detail
Einstein's Death Albert Einstein died in 1955.
Cube's Invention The 3x3 Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974.
Conclusion Therefore, Einstein passed away 19 years before the invention of the Rubik's Cube. He would not have had the opportunity to interact with, let alone solve, the puzzle. The provided reference points this out directly.

While Einstein never encountered the Rubik's Cube, the reference encourages us to speculate if he could have solved it, given the chance. That, however, is purely hypothetical and not factual.
