Rubik lived in Budapest. Tibor Laczi, a work aquintance, 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 returned from a business meeting in the USA, Laczi said, '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 only thing he did was embark on smoking proper cigarettes!'
