Note: This post is pinned to the top of my blog. Over the past five years, I have competed at well over 80 cubing competitions all around the world. I, along with some of my closest friends, decided it was high time that we organize our own competition for the […]
On April 3, 2016, I got my first Rubik’s Cube from Walmart and solved it for the first time in my life. Today, April 3, 2022, marks the six year anniversary of my cubing journey. Cubing-wise, this past year alone is just as great as the other five years combined. […]
