Erno Rubik and the story behind the iconic toy
« เมื่อ: มกราคม 04, 2021, 10:24:58 am »



Arrive at Szepilona Bisztro on a leafy street on Budapest's Buda side, grab a Rubik's cube and find the slotxo man who built it almost 50 years ago.I didn't feel worth having lunch with Erno Rubik quite a bit, because the Cube I was holding was never fixed. As the waiter approached, I explained it, explaining that I was eating with the builder. A horrible smile spread over her face.Rubik arrived on time and without fanfare.The 76-year-old had a healthy tan, his demeanor turned boyish and professional. He has been coming to this restaurant since the late 1960s, during his time as a graduate student before he invented one of the world's most successful and successful brain-teasers: a cube with a set. 43 trillion combinations, of which only one of them is correct.

His moment of inspiration came in the spring of 1974, when Rubik was living in a family apartment on the city's Pest street, separated from the hilly Buda by the Danube. He was a professor of architecture. But his room "Like a child's pocket full of marbles and treasures"In an effort to help students combat three-dimensional problems, he tries to create a set of cubes that are together. But can move freely Finally, he had a six-sided structure with nine interlocking cubes on each side. He painted each side in a different color. But after he twisted it, he realized that he couldn't easily return to his original state.It's a harder job figuring out a system to fix it than building the whole thing," he says, "probably because I'm more familiar with engineering and structure and design than math." He eventually took a month. And solving the problem made him "feel at ease in freedom," he said at the time.


'Something's icon'

The Rubik's Cube was born and to date, more than 450 million cubic meters have been sold.Its popularity peaked in the early 1980s.Rubik seemed to be truly in a bad mood given widespread acceptance of his creations.Usually icons have very specific content, which is an icon of something," he said, "but Cube's content is so broad that it can symbolize logical thinking, a way of life." Fight each other in a competition World-class "speedcubing" eliminates the nanosecond puzzle solving time, currently 3.47 seconds.In the meantime, we are slowly working on food. I was hoping for a traditional three- or four-course meal, which would provide an opportunity to explore Hungarian cuisine beyond Goulash and indulge in a cold fruit soup, but the Rubik's Menu was not inspired by the menu, so we. Therefore stuck to the fire

After some digression about the perfect formula for the number and type of options, the menu should be available that only the puzzle creator can do

(gist: not too many options. But not too little either) Rubik chose fried chicken and A side of pickles We eat at the start of the uboka (cucumber) season, a slower period when the only thing that happens is the cucumber harvest and the preparation for pickling. Rubik wanted to see how the restaurant's pickles compare to his, although he had low expectations: “Unfortunately, my wife is a great cook,” he says. “In general, homemade food is better. very"He doesn't like the 'initiation' period.Rubik's birth at the end of World War II was a "not playful" aircraft engineer father and a poetic mother with "the ability to be happy" he said he inherited.

Before Hungary was shut down in the west. He enjoyed puzzles as a child and studied sculpture, architecture and applied arts before becoming a university professor.He was 29 years old when he "discovered" Cube in 1974. He chose the verb carefully, "I don't like the word. "Making things" because things are there, you just discover their potential, "he said.But if you paint a picture, why not call it an artifact? Or if you're making a sculpture, it's an artifact! Traditional invention involves patents, and patents are only part of very narrow creativity.Rubik created the first prototype by hand from wooden blocks that were held together by elastic bands. When he saw how his friend interacted with it, he realized it was more than a teaching tool, that was it.
