Applied Arts and Crafts in Budapest.

 Rubik applied for a patent in Hungary for his “Magic Cube” (Bűvös kocka in Hungarian) on 30
January 1975, and HU170062 was granted later that year.
 The first test batches of the Magic Cube were produced in late 1977 and released in
Budapest toy shops. Magic Cube was held together with interlocking plastic pieces that
prevented the puzzle being easily pulled apart, unlike the magnets in Nichols’s design.
 The puzzle was originally advertised as having “over 3,000,000,000 (three billion)
combinations but only one solution”. Depending on how combinations are counted, the actual
number is significantly higher.
 By 1979, Hungary agreed to share the cube and Rubik signed with the Ideal Toy Corporation.
As Ideal Toys prepared to market the Magic Cube to the West, they decided to rename the
cube. After considering several names, they settled on calling the toy puzzle “Rubik’s Cube.”
The first Rubik’s Cubes appeared in Western stores in 1980.
