Hungary

Ernő Rubik built his cube to solve a design problem: how to make many small blocks move on their own without falling apart. It then took him about a month to solve it.

Five things to know about Hungary

In Geodar these are the five clues to this country, and it counts as one of the middling countries. The game asks the hardest clue first. Here the easiest comes first.

  1. Where it is. It's Hungary, a landlocked country in central Europe, east of Austria. See Hungary on a map.
  2. The Danube runs through its capital, with Buda on one bank and Pest on the other.
  3. The Rubik's Cube was invented here in 1974 by a professor of architecture.
  4. The modern ballpoint pen was invented by a journalist from this country, László Bíró.
  5. Its language is unlike its neighbours': its closest relatives are spoken far away in western Siberia.
