I’ve always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.
Meaning of the quote
Erno Rubik, the inventor of the Rubik's Cube, loved learning about the shapes and patterns of three-dimensional objects. He was fascinated by the way these shapes and forms fit together, and he enjoyed exploring the math and geometry behind them. Rubik's passion for this area of study led him to create his famous puzzle, which challenges people to rearrange the cube's colorful sides.
