The Pyraminx was first conceived by Mèffert in 1970. He did nothing with his design until 1981 when he applied for a patent on 27/03 (EP0042695 on 12/30/81) and brought it to Hong Kong for production. Uwe is fond of saying had it not been for Ernő Rubik's invention of the cube, his Pyraminx would have never been produced.[citation needed] Somewhat earlier (for 40 days) in the Soviet Union, the chief technologist of the Kishinev Tractor Plant, Alexander Alexandrovich Ordynets, filed his application for an invention (patent SU980739 dated 12/15/1982, with the filing date 02/18/81), because of that, in Russia many people call puzzle "Молдавская пирамидка" (moldavian pyramid).
