Most people believe that only a genius can solve a 3X3 Rubik’s cube.

The first time I solved a Rubik's cube, I was in 10th grade and a below average student.

It took me 1 month to learn how to solve it.

I spent hours researching online and practicing. In this process, I was able to learn a whole bunch of different techniques that helped me solve a cube within 30–35 seconds!

With passion, patience, and practice, anyone can learn this skill.

Yeah! Those are my hands.

How I got sucked into the world of speedcubing?

When I was in kindergarten, I found it very difficult to draw a cube in my art class. Other classmates were able to do it so quickly. As a kid, I took that to my heart.

I used to ask the other kids around to teach me how to draw one but no one would tell me. They knew a trick that I didn’t. Their cubes looked much better than mine and were symmetric.
