speedcubing

Speedcubing is the hobby of solving a Rubik’s Cube or similar twisty puzzles as quickly as possible. It involves not only understanding the cube’s mechanics and patterns but also developing efficient solving methods and quick, precise finger movements. Speedcubers often memorize algorithms—prearranged sequences of moves—to solve parts of the cube swiftly. Competitions measure how fast individuals can complete the puzzle, with top solvers reaching times under 10 seconds. The activity combines problem-solving skills, dexterity, and concentration, making it a challenging and engaging pursuit that emphasizes both mental agility and physical coordination.
