Rubik’s cubes are one of the most fun and intellectually stimulating toys out there. People are perplexed by them (and sometimes that confusion leads to letting the cubes collect cobwebs, never being solved). It’s a tough challenge to present someone with and it’s completely understandable why a person would give up on trying.

Too. Many. Colored. Squares.

But this man just broke a world record for Rubik’s cube solving. He solved 41 cubes while blindfolded. How is that even possible?

I don’t think I’ve ever touched a Rubik’s cube…and this guy solved 41 in 33 minutes. That’s 1.24 per minute.

Solving a Rubik’s cube is incredibly impressive. There’s an art to being able to complete it, and when you do, you look like an absolute genius. Skydiving is also remarkable. It takes guts to jump out of a plane, and no matter how many people write it down on their bucket lists, very few actually take that plunge.

Well, this insanely cool guy just combined both of those things. He solved a Rubik’s cube while jumping out of a plane, and he impressed the entire world in the process.

This might be the most talented man in the world. How did he even come up with this idea? I’d be too scared to think straight if I jumped out of a plane, let alone focus on solving a Rubik’s cube!
