Production of Rubik's Cube Returns to Hungary, Its Birthplace
The Rubik's Cube, invented by Hungarian architect and professor Ernő Rubik in 1974, is returning to production in Hungary after decades abroad. Initially called the "Magic Cube," it gained global popularity in the 1980s, selling over half a billion units worldwide. The new fully automated production line opened in Jászberény, Hungary, marking the cube's return to its birthplace. The puzzle has seen renewed interest recently through global speed-solving competitions.
