depends everyday happiness life mixed near problems puzzles solve solving
The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life, our whole life is solving puzzles. If you are hungry, you have to find something to eat. But everyday problems are very mixed - they're not clear. The Cube's problem depends just on you. You can solve it independently. But to find happiness in life, you're not independent. That's the only big difference.
closely develop government mass remain shall version worked
And, not only in Budapest. I worked very closely with a very powerful government organization, which shall remain unidentified, to develop the mass marketed version of the Cube.
Yes, but with the Cube there are many flashes, there are many aha's.
This was such an extraordinary situation that I simply could not accept it.
I'm still the same person, thinking the same way, so it's possible I will invent something.
But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.
