Anyone CAN Do the Rubik’s Cube . . . But Some Patrick Henry Students Are Exceptionally Fast!

Ten Patrick Henry students will be competing at the Rubik’s Cube Competition for the first time this year at CSU San Marcos. You CAN do the Rubik’s Cube is the educational outreach program of the world-famous Rubik’s Cube which brings mathematical, cooperative, and art concepts together while empowering anyone to solve the Rubik’s Cube. Henry’s club has existed for three years and meets once a week where students practice solving Rubik’s Cube and engage in other types of mechanical puzzles. In the competition, eight students must solve 25 scrambled Rubik’s Cubes as fast as possible. Henry’s club advisor, Tom Knapik, says “Our current record for solving 25 Rubik’s Cubes is 3 minutes and 23 seconds and a few students can solve a single cube in under 30 seconds!” Let’s see if they achieve a personal best at CSU San Marcos. Go Patriots!
