If you have many children, the first one is always different because you can only have one child who is the first. They have different natures and talents for you to love.

I didn't give that name, the Rubik's Cube, and I called it Magic Cube because it's magic.

I feel more like a father to a child: my Cube inspired thousands of 'twisty puzzles,' and I'm amazed how it continues to excite new generations.

The Cube was a wonder - a wonder for itself and a wonder for myself. To me, it was much more strange than to anybody else.

Throughout history, people have enjoyed playing both silly and clever games.

My main profession is architect.

I don't want to say too many words about the magic of the Cube, because it's basically a mystery. It's like the Mona Lisa smile. It's both complex and very simple at the same time. And, well, people like it. Even today.

To solve the Cube, you need special skills and understanding. For example, pattern recognition is very important to solve the Cube.

I did not plan... the Cube as a competitive item.

I am really not a speedcuber. My best time when I was practicing was about a minute. Usually people say if you can create a piano, you must be a good piano player, but it is not true. They are different type of human activities and need different capabilities.
