Satire indeed ... Rubik was a Hungarian or is a Hungarian, perhaps still alive, and I am not sure he didn't launch this from behind iron curtain.
ReplyDeleteYep ... here it is:
From 1971 to 1979, Rubik was a professor of architecture at the Budapest College of Applied Arts (Iparművészeti Főiskola). It was during his time there that he built designs for a three-dimensional puzzle and completed the first prototype of the Rubik's Cube in 1974, applying for a patent on the puzzle in 1975. In an interview with CNN, Rubik stated that he was "searching to find a good task for my students."[4]
