Rubik abodes in Budapest. Tibor Laczi, a business aquintance, said when he first introduced himself him, 'When Rubik walked into the room I felt like giving him some money. He looked like a beggar! He was terribly dressed, and he had a cheap Hungarian cigarette hanging out of his mouth. But I knew I had a genius on my hands.'

Subsequent to Rubik's success having travelled home from a conference in the States, Laczi declared, 'It was his first trip to the West, and he didn't ask me to take him anywhere after the press conference.
Most People from Hungary that come here want to look at shops or buy jewellery or visit a bar. Rubik went back to his hotel. He was always that way, even after the money started. The first thing he did was start on using better cigarettes!'
