UK Speedcubing Championship 2017

15 October 2017 by Eileen

Are you a huge fan of Rubik’s Cube? Then don’t miss the UK Speedcubing Championship 2017 that will be taking place at The Forum, Stevenage on 27th – 29th October 2017. As this is the UK Championship, only competitors representing the United Kingdom will be eligible for prizes. However, the competition remains open for all nationalities to compete. Do check it out!

There will be 18 official events to be held. There is a time limit and if you take longer than this on a single solve you will be stopped, and given a DNF result for that attempt. For more information, do check out UK Cube Association.

Rubik’s Cube is incredibly addictive and has fascinated fans since it arrived way back in 1980. I think most households have had at least one at some point! It was my sister’s favourite puzzle of all time.

This Rubik’s cube has a brand new mechanism that results in a smoother, faster and more reliable Rubik’s Cube. The traditional stickers have been replaced with plastic; which means no fading, peeling or cheating! Yes, cheating! I used to peel off the stickers and rearrange it without moving the cube. My OCD got the better of me. If I couldn’t solve it, I used to peel the stickers off and re-stick it back in the right way. Now with this cube, I can no longer do it.

Nevertheless, Mr C has mastered the skill of solving the cube by noting certain steps. It looks very complicated and I couldn’t follow it. He enjoys it solving it whenever we mess it up! Of course, if you struggle to master this challenge or simply lack the patience, they have provided a downloadable guide with the simplest ever Rubik’s Cube solution.

The Rubik’s Cube is the classic colour-matching puzzle that is a great mental challenge anywhere you go. It is a challenging mind puzzle that will never go out of fashion and we would recommend it. It is available to buy in good toy retailers, John Adam and Amazon.

Disclosure: We received the sample for the purposes of writing this review however all thoughts and opinions remain our own.
