I remember those quite dark times in Hungary, I was a small boy in school and one couldn't travel without complicated paperwork and the option of refusals to the West - and we got permission to buy foreign money only once per three years, so that was quite limiting. In those times Rubik was a huge inspiration, even for me. Parents were telling their children in that era of hopelessness and contra selection that "if you are smart like Rubik, you can also achieve things when you grow up". I vaguely remember an interview with him in the late 80's, I think he said that he made the cube because he was outraged by the lack of 3D vision of his students. The "Oliver Twisting" remark is quite funny, actually.
