The Rubik’s Cube, invented by Hungarian architect Ernő Rubik in 1974, has become one of the world’s most beloved puzzles. Since its creation, over half a billion units have been sold. Production is now returning to Hungary, where Rubik first developed the cube. On Tuesday, a new automated production line opened in Jászberény. Rubik originally produced the design as the “Magic Cube,” and it gained popularity in the late 1970s. By the early 1980s, it had become a global sensation. The cube remains a cultural icon, with global competitions and a current solving record of 2.51 seconds.
