The Rubik's Cube was invented in Budapest by an architecture professor who was not trying to make a toy. Ernő Rubik built it in 1974 to help students understand three dimensional geometry, and it took him a month to solve his own puzzle. Hungarian itself is unrelated to the languages of any of its neighbors.
