For some, completing the Rubik’s Cube puzzle is a challenge. For others, it’s a race.
On Saturday, Nov. 21, 100 of the nation’s fastest speedcubers came to the Manhasset High School cafeteria to compete in a one day speedcubing competition. The all-day event was organized by Alex Maass, a 10th grader at Manhasset High School, and was officially sanctioned by the World Cube Association. The competition featured five events, including solving the cube one handed, solving the 2×2 cube, the 4×4 cube, the pyraminx puzzle as well as the classic 3×3 Rubik’s cube. Boy Scout volunteers from Manhasset’s Troop 71 were on hand throughout the day to help make the event run smoothly. Proceeds raised from registration fees were donated to Manhasset PASE (Parent Association for Special Education) to help fund special education programs in Manhasset.
