so-called Tokaji wine, red paprika, gipsy music
and csárdás (dance and music). It is not

birth place of inventors of the following
inventions car, match, bulb, Vitamin C, the ball
point pen, the Rubik cube, the atomic reactor,
the computer, not to mention the Basic language,
the Word processor, and so on. At the beginning
of the 20th century, several Hungarian scientists
left Hungary to continue their studies in world
standard Universities and famous research
laboratories throughout Europe and even in the
USA. Eugene Wigner (Jeno as Hungrian), Edward
Teller (Ede in Hungarian), Leo Szilárd, John
Neumann (János). They common feature was not
being able to speak any foreign language without
their strange accent. They all came from
Budapest, Hungary.

The Hungarian sculptor and professor of
architecture created his invention in 1974.
Actually, his aim was to solve a structural
problem instead of inventing the most successful
puzzle of the history. His toy (which was named
after his creator), however, became famous and
popular in the lives of children as well as
adults, as it is up today. In the
world-championship, organized in Budapest,
Hungary, in 1982, a 16-year-old Vietnamese child
became champion (with 22.95 seconds). Still, he
is the record-holder all over the world. Can you
guess, what this mysterious toy was called?
