it' s been a long, strange journey for the cube, invented back in 1974 by hungarian professor erno rubik. after a worldwide selling blitz, which included dozens of knockoff versions, the puzzle fell out of fashion and distribution in the late 1980s. by the early' 90s, however, the cube had emerged from toy purgatory and was getting distributed by various companies before winning moves picked up the rights to it in 2000 .

andy camann never intended to become a cultural anthropologist. two years ago, he was just a bored adolescent rooting around in the basement of his family' s newton home when he unearthed an old rubik' s cube .
college, pre - mom life, a time when a cube sat on every stylish 20 - something' s coffee table and was tossed around at every party. sometime around 1984, rhonda camann' s used cube got tossed in a box and stowed away .
but the six - sided, three - dimensional puzzle fascinated andy. he started twisting and turning that day and hasn' t stopped since, except to swap out the antique' 80s cube for a sturdier imported model. today, at age 15, andy is the second - fastest '` speed'' cuber under age 18 in the world, and he holds an esteemed spot in the elite category of '` sub - 20'' cubers who can solve a thoroughly scrambled cube with a possible 43 quintillion possible color combinations in fewer than 20 seconds .
he hadn' t even been born when the cube' s popularity peaked in 1981, selling 250 million units worldwide, with a force akin to phenomena such as the yo - yo, the hula hoop, pac - man, pokemon, and the harry potter books. the newton south high freshman shrugs when confronted with the historic significance of his hobby. '` it' s just something i think is fun,'' he said .
pionships in toronto. knights was barely out of diapers when cube mania swept the united states, and he didn' t even pick up a cube until 1999, mostly because of a friendly challenge by his roommate at middlebury college in vermont .
` 'people getting into it now were too young or not even born the first time around,'' he said from san francisco, where he works as a tech support engineer. '` back in the' 80s, most people thought anyone who learned to do it was some sort of math geek with their pants pulled up to their belly button.''
the big difference is that today' s young people actually want to show off their intelligence, not hide it. this is a generation of '` matrix'' - style computer hackers, not beer - swilling '` risky business'' partyers .
` 'being smart is cooler now,'' said knights. '` the cube is an underground way to be smart. it' s dorky, but it' s cool to be dorky.''
and, increasingly, it' s becoming cool to own a cube again. sales have been on the rise for years. in 2002, 500, 000 cubes were sold, up from 350, 000 in 2001, and the cube' s us sellers say they expect sales to top 700, 000 this year .
the early 1980s, a time overshadowed by political tension with the former soviet union, created a perfect atmosphere for an individualistic toy like the cube, he said. '` the nice thing about the puzzle is that it could be solved when so many other things could not be so easily or quickly accomplished. when your daily life is not so certain, it' s nice to come home and get a feeling of accomplishment by solving it.''
the cube plays into the hands of people seeking a pastime or hobby offering a ritualistic sense of '` flow,'' said emily kearns, an emerson college sociologist who studies rituals and play .
like crossword puzzles, video games, or even solitary sports such as biking or rock - climbing, the cube puts users in a trancelike meditative state in which worries fall away, she said .
` 'we can free ourselves and find inner joy and a sense of possibility,'' kearns said. '` there' s the feeling, it' s just me and the game.''
of course, not everyone finds serenity with the cube. some easily frustrated people might get the urge to hurl it against a wall. but those people can reenter society simply by putting down the cube, kearns said .
the man who helped invent the 1999 smash toy hit furby says the most important factor in understanding the cube' s enduring appeal is nostalgia. richard levy, also the author of '` the toy and game inventor' s handbook,'' said rubik' s cube has gone from mass - market craze to marginalized cult toy and has reemerged in the 21st century as a classic plaything .
consumers are embracing the '` brand equity'' of classic board games such as monopoly, clue, and life, as well as the card game uno. many of today' s toy buyers grew up in the' 70s and' 80s and are now 30 - and 40 - somethings buying toys for their own kids .
` 'when mom and dad go into a toy store, they think, 'i had one of [ those ].' the toy' s story is told immediately,'' said levy .
toys such as my little pony and the care bears are back, as are the action heroes teenage mutant ninja turtles, levy said. the board game trivial pursuit, released a year after the cube hit it big in the united states, came out with a 20th - anniversary edition. that version was the best - selling game in 2002, orbanes said .
` 'the rubik' s brand is popular in the hearts and minds of people,'' he said. '` of course, it' s also a reminder to people that life may have a lot of frustration, but you can twist and turn your way out of it.''

in the last year, dozens of patents have been issued to hopeful inventors who dream that their new version of the old - fashioned board game will one day become the next monopoly .
'' but consumers nowadays just don' t have the patience,'' he said.'' it was too formidable an environment.'' mr. orbanes' s company is branching out into other products .
milton bradley and parker brothers, both divisions of hasbro, still produce best - selling board games, according to mr. orbanes, who is the author of'' the monopoly companion'' (adams media). but they stick to such classics as monopoly or pictionary - - games that people already know how to play .
mr. orbanes offers a grim forecast for board game inventors. but the example of richard c. levy, a successful toy and games inventor in bethesda, md. , suggests a silver lining .
mr. levy recently received a patent, no. d406, 614, to protect the design of the board for his game based on the best - selling book'' men are from mars, women are from venus'' (harpercollins). mr. levy created the game for cardinal industries. it is based on the best - selling book by john gray, and the game - - which has the same title as the book - - has begun to show up on toy store shelves .
these days, mr. levy says, it' s all about'' branding'' - - linking up your game with a well - known book or product. he has created board games based on'' chicken soup for the soul'' (health communications) as well as uncle milton' s ant farm .
what other advice does mr. levy have? first, don' t spend a lot of money to patent something until you know you have a truly novel and marketable product. even then, unless the game has a singular electronic or mechanical aspect, often trademark and copyright are more important - - and cheaper to obtain .
second, try to license it.'' self - publishing is absolute suicide,'' mr. levy said.'' more than 99 percent of the people i know who make the games themselves still have them in their basement.''
most big companies do not take submissions directly from independent inventors. the manhattan - based toy manufacturers of america (www. toy - tma. org) has a list of toy and games agents who, much like literary agents, take a cut of any future royalties as their fee. (toy agents are not to be confused with invention submission companies, which are reviled by mr. levy as being'' carrion birds circling the skies for unsuspecting inventors.'' )

you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times' s products and services .
ronald o. weingartner, a former executive at hasbro games group and the co - author with mr. levy of'' from workshop to toy store'' (simon & schuster), adds that board games need to give children a'' wow'' experience.'' that usually means some kind of electronic enhancement,'' he said .
but even mr. levy' s games, while successful, are unlikely to have an enduring shelf life. according to jonathan becker, a toy agent in new york, hasbro introduced 24 games in 1996. only two of those were still around in 1997. and none of them were on the market in 1998 .
contrary to mr. levy' s advice, the self - publishing route has worked for m. ardell olsen, an insurance salesman in ogden, utah, who recently received patent no. 5, 820, 125 for a bible game that he originally assembled in his basement with the help of his wife and children .
'' we went into a store looking for something to help our family remember and understand the teachings of the bible and we couldn' t find anything,'' dana m. olsen, the inventor' s wife, recalled .
so mr. olsen decided to invent a game that has the object of entering the kindom of heaven by demonstrating biblical knowledge. he and his family read scriptures together to come up with questions.'' then we maxed out a couple of credit cards until we could get a bank loan,'' mrs. olsen said .
now more than 250, 000 copies of biblequest - - which comes in old testament and new testament editions - - have been sold through religious stores and wal - mart stores outlets nationwide. mr. olsen recently licensed the games to specialties, a publisher of religious products that is also based in ogden .
richard recard, a retired management consultant in louisville, colo. , also plans to produce his recently patented science fiction board game himself and begin selling it over the internet this fall .
mr. recard' s game features hexagonal playing boards that represent different solar systems and that can be tessellated, or attached, together so that they represent a galaxy. players, who draw catastrophe and entropy cards, must navigate their spaceships through hazardous conditions. they receive points both for demonstrating their knowledge of astrophysics and for assisting other spacecraft .
mr. recard, who also plans to develop a digital version of his game, received patent no. 5, 906, 372 last month .

it is less than three weeks since an emotional david cameron announced his resignation as prime minister after losing a referendum on britain’s membership of the european union. a rather leisurely timeline was proposed for the tory party leadership race to replace him. instead what followed was the swift elevation of theresa may to the top job. the vote never even got as far as the party membership; just the mps were needed, together with the willingness of mrs may’s last remaining rival, andrea leadsom, to fall on her sword on july 11th .
on this occasion the ruling party has swapped leaders during a parliament, meaning that mrs may has become prime minister without leading the party to an election victory. fully half of britain’s premiers since the start of the second world war have been so chosen; mrs may, gordon brown, john major, james callaghan, lord home, harold macmillan, anthony eden and winston churchill. indeed, since 1900 britain has had 23 different prime ministers, and on 15 occasions prime ministers have come to power other than in general elections. mrs may’s path to downing street, if not quite the norm, is hardly exceptional .
the omens are not good for those who step into the top job. they have often struggled (election - winners, by contrast, have sometimes stayed rather too long). nine unelected prime ministers had terms of office that lasted less than four years in office since 1900, compared with only five elected ones .
though there is surely no appetite at the moment for a quick general election, there are some harsh lessons for mrs may in the experiences of two of the previous three unelected premiers. mr brown took over a healthy commons majority from tony blair in an uncontested succession in 2007. he toyed with holding a snap election to claim his own mandate—only to back down. he struggled against taunts that he had “bottled it”, and when the financial crisis of 2008 hit, his popularity slumped. he lost the 2010 election to mr cameron. in 1976 callaghan won a leadership contest to succeed the labour prime minister, harold wilson, and then spurned the chance to call an election in the autumn of 1978 when he could well have beaten thatcher, the new, relatively unpopular tory leader. by the following year events had turned against him and she won the 1979 election, ushering in 18 years of tory ascendancy .
other unelected premiers have fared even worse. lord home won a bitter leadership battle to succeed macmillan in 1963, and was prime minister for less than a year. eden took over from churchill in 1955 in an uncontested succession and won a snap election, but was destroyed the following year by the suez crisis. neville chamberlain succeeded stanley baldwin in 1937 and endured a miserable three years culminating in the nazi invasion of france, after which he was forced aside by churchill. even the great war leader did not have it all his own way as an unelected prime minister. the first time he went to the country to win his own mandate, at the end of the war, his party was eviscerated. he had to wait until 1951, 11 years after he first entered downing street, to win an election himself .
by general consent, the most successful and significant post - war premierships have all been by elected prime ministers; clement attlee, thatcher and perhaps mr blair. unelected prime ministers may be constitutional, but their lack of a popular mandate weakens their authority, as callaghan and mr brown tacitly acknowledged by contemplating elections well before they had to. with no early feel for the electorate, they were soundly beaten when the time came .
and even when unelected leaders did win their own mandates, things went wrong soon afterwards, as with eden, mr major and arguably macmillan. perhaps it is coincidence. but perhaps, also, their keenness to display the “firm smack of government”, as one critic of eden put it, in order to compensate for their glide to the top, led them into disastrous missteps. mrs may must be hoping that she bucks the trend .

the games firm launched stirling monopoly last month, which has gone on to receive a motion in the scottish parliament .
last month, the games firm launched stirling monopoly and has received praise from the scottish parliament, with the msp putting down a ‘motion’ of congratulations .
