Mr. Ernó Rubik Ernó Rubik (Ern?0?2 Rubik), born on July 13, 1944, is a Hungarian inventor and Sculptor and professor of architecture. He is known to the world as the inventor of the Rubik's Cube series of toys. Erno Rubik invented the mechanical educational toy - Rubik's Cube (English: Rubik's Cube) in 1974. Professor Rubik did not invent the Rubik's Cube for production and entertainment: because he is a professor of architecture and sculpture, he made the first prototype of the Rubik's Cube himself to help students understand the composition and structure of the space cube. After he completed his first work, he turned it a few times and found that the originally neat Rubik's Cube was difficult to restore, so he realized that this new invention would be very difficult. As the inventor of the Rubik's Cube, Professor Rubik holds Hungarian patent number #170062, but has not applied for an international patent. (He thought others would be reluctant to produce the toy, but clones appeared almost immediately.) It is estimated that more than 100 million Rubik's Cubes have been sold worldwide since their invention. The Rubik's Cube became widely loved in the 1980s. From 1980 to 1982, nearly 2 million Rubik's cubes were sold. In 1981, a little boy from England, Patrick Bossert, wrote a book called "You Can Restore the Rubik's Cube" (ISBN 0140314830) (the Chinese translation translated by Shiyuan is "How to Play the Rubik's Cube" ", ISBN: R13056·142), with a total of nearly 1.5 million copies sold. Due to the huge business opportunities of the Rubik's Cube, Professor Rubik and his partners developed the second-order and fourth-order Rubik's Cube, and these two products were also successful. According to statistics from Rubik's company, this rotatable toy composed of blocks of different colors set off its first craze between 1980 and 1982, with more than 100 million sold worldwide. Today's Rubik's Cube sales are higher than those at that time. Even better. Although the Rubik's Cube is once again popular, Rubik still doesn't like to appear in public and has refused all interview requests. The 64-year-old Hungarian engineer lives and works in Budapest and runs Rubik's Studio, which owns the Rubik's Cube trademark. Located in the back of a modern office building, Rubik's Studio makes its living selling games designed by Rubik's inventors. The company does not release sales data at this time. The son of a poet and a glider designer, Rubik studied architecture at the Technical University of Budapest and sculptural interior design at the School of Practical Arts in Budapest. Rubik still works in housing design, and his firm was involved in the design of the Hungarian headquarters of Siemens AG and the People's Park bus station in Budapest. After thinking hard, Rubik finally found a way to make blocks of different colors rotate along two vertical axes without falling apart. He applied for a patent for his invention. In Rubik's words online, the Rubik's Cube was born from his interest in "space transformation." In 1977, the Rubik's Cube first appeared in a toy store in Budapest and became one of the major Hungarian inventions along with Burrow's ballpoint pen and safety matches. Gabor Conci, head of the Hungarian Cultural Foundation, said that the revival of the Rubik's Cube is due to its simplicity and ease of playing. "I can put it in my pocket and take it out to play at any time and place. It can ease a person's standing while standing." The feeling of loneliness in the crowd.” The British “Sunday Telegraph” reported on January 31 that the Hungarian inventor Rubik invented the new intellectual toy “Rubik 360” in 2009. "Rubik 360" is three transparent plastic balls wrapped around each other, dividing into three different spaces from the inside to the outside. The ball contains 6 small colored balls. The rules of the game are simple but very difficult to play. Players need to shake the big ball so that the small ball passes through the middle layer with only two holes and enters the empty space on the outermost layer from the innermost layer. "Rubik 360" will be officially unveiled at a German toy expo scheduled to open on February 5.
