    László Bíró (1899 - 1985)
    The ballpoints pen
    - Invented the right, viscose ink with the help of his brother, a chemist.

    architecture professor Ernő Rubik.

    world's best-selling puzzle.
    - Did you know that there are 'speedcubers', people who solve
    Rubik's cubes as fast as they can? The world record is currently held
    by Feliks Zemdegs, with astounding 4.37 seconds but Justin Bieber
    can do it within 2 minutes..
