Rubik lived in Budapest. Tibor Laczi, a business friend, 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.'

In the wake of Rubik's feat having travlelled home from a conference in the United States of America, Laczi commented, 'It was his first trip to the West, and he didn't ask me to take him anywhere after the press conference.
Most Hungarians 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 start enjoying better tobacco!'
