Rubik lived in Budapest. Tibor Laczi, a business friend, said when he first met 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.'

After Rubik's success having travlelled home from a work meeting in the USA, Laczi stated, 'It was his first trip to the West, and he didn't ask me to take him anywhere after the press conference.
Most Hungarian holiday makers 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 Rubik did was begin enjoying more expensive cigarettes!'
