Approximately 50 books were published describing how to solve the puzzle of Rubik's Cube. By 1980 Rubik's Cube was marketed throughout the world, and over 100 million authorized units, with an estimated 50 million unauthorized imitations, were sold, mostly during its subsequent three years of popularity. It proved a useful tool for teaching algebraic group theory, and in late 1977 Konsumex, Hungary's state trading company, began marketing it. One of these was a prototype of his cube, made of 27 wooden blocks it took Rubik a month to solve the problem of the cube.
While a professor of design at the academy, he pursued his hobby of building geometric models. Rubik studied sculpture at the Academy of Applied Arts and Design in Budapest and architecture at the Technical University, also in Budapest. Rubik is involved with several organizations such as Beyond Rubik's Cube, the Rubik Learning Initiative and the Judit Polgar Foundation all of whose aim is to engage students in science, mathematics, and problem solving at a young age. While Rubik became famous for inventing the Rubik's Cube and his other puzzles, much of his recent work involves the promotion of science in education. He is best known for the invention of mechanical puzzles including the Rubik's Cube (1974), Rubik's Magic, Rubik's Magic: Master Edition, and Rubik's Snake. Puzzle designer of Rubik's Cube, inventor, architect, professorĮrnő Rubik ( Hungarian: born 13 July 1944) is a Hungarian inventor, architect, and professor of architecture.
