I started solving Rubik’s cubes in seventh grade after seeing my close friend finish a 3x3 in one minute. I was immediately interested and began learning more about it. I tried solving each face, struggled for days and then learned more through YouTube. After a week of practice, I solved the 3x3, improved my turning technique, learned finger tricks and gradually tried the 2x2, 4x4, pyraminx, mirror cube and megaminx. Rubik’s helped me develop logical thinking, focus and patience. The best part was competing with friends. Each win felt rewarding because it showed that every calculation and memory effort paid off.

​

I didn’t stop there. I tried blindfolded solving starting with the 2x2. I learned how to memorize the whole scramble using visual and logical memory. It was challenging and I almost gave up many times, but sticking with it helped me finish it in a short time.
