Fifty years ago, Hungarian architect Erno Rubik introduced the world to a colorful, hand-held puzzle—the Rubik's Cube. To mark this milestone, the Friday Eight O'Clock Buzz welcomed Zeke MacKay, a Rubik's Cube record setter from Hartland, Wisconsin.
Zeke shared his journey from discovering his first Rubik's Cube to becoming a speed cubing champion. He discussed common beginner mistakes, his solving strategies, and how he realized his talent for the puzzle. Zeke emphasized the mental benefits of cubing, such as enhanced problem-solving skills and focus.
Reflecting on the Rubik's Cube's enduring appeal, Zeke noted its universal challenge and the satisfaction of bringing order to chaos.
