The 2018 Red Bull Rubik’s Cube World Championship introducesthree new game modes – ‘Speed Cubing’, a straight best of five head to head competition, ‘Fastest Hand’ in which competitors must solve the Cube one-handed, and ‘Re-Scramble’, a straight head-to-head race to solve a single scramble. Designed in conjunction with the speed-cubing community, participants will face one another in a series of one vsone knockout rounds, to find out who is the fastest Cube solver in a never-before-seen competition.
The competition and the three main game modes are open to persons of any gender, and, in addition, there will be a women-only mode. Female cubers can choose if they want to participate in the women-only track, in the mixed track or both. India will send participants (1 in each category) for the world finals in 4 categories: ‘Speedcubing mixed’, ‘Speedcubing women’, ‘Fastest Hand’ and ‘Re-Scramble’.
The Rubik’s Cube was invented by the Hungarian Professor Ernő Rubik in 1974 and has since become the best-selling puzzle in the world. While there are more than 43 quintillion ways to scramble The Rubik’s Cube, every ‘scramble’ can be solved in 20 moves or fewer. While it took Professor Rubik a month to solve his first cube, since the 1970s puzzle fans around the world have competed to solve the puzzle the fastest. The first world championship was held in 1982 with a winning solve time of 22.95 seconds. Today the world record is 4.59 seconds and is held by SeungBeom Cho, a South Korean speedcuber.
“In recent years speed-cubing has become increasingly popular, with numerous tournaments held around the world. “The Cube celebrates intelligence and playfulness and speedcubing brings strong resolve and a global community of enthusiasts to the party,” said Professor Rubik.
Qualifying events are taking place in Austria, Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, India, Japan, Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine and the USA.Registration for the regional qualifier events started in January 2018, online at www.redbullmindgamers.com/rubiks.
