3 Rubik's Cubes in 90 Seconds

Have you ever played with a Rubik's Cube? 你有沒有玩過魔術方塊？

It's a cube with lots of small squares and different colors … red, white,
blue, orange, green, and yellow. You have to try to get all the same colors
on one side. It's really hard!
魔術方塊是要把的每一面轉成同一種顏色，才算成功。

I've tried it many times! And I've never been able to do it! One side all
red, one side all white, one side all orange, one side all green, and one
side all yellow! Ahhh! 我做不到。

But guess what? There is an 8-year-old boy in India who just broke a new
world record! He got all the colors to the right places in one and a half
minutes! 一個八歲的印度小孩，只花90秒就做到了，還打破世界紀錄!

90 seconds... oh, but wait! That's not the most amazing part! He did that to
three Rubik's Cubes... in 90 seconds! 不只這樣，他是同時完成三個魔術方塊喔。
That's just amazing!

The boy says he loves solving puzzles, so training was fun. He says sometimes
he practiced really hard and sometimes he stopped and calmed down… letting
his brain take a rest! Hmm... smart!
練習玩魔術方塊很好玩。不過他也會休息，讓腦袋輕鬆一下。

A Rubik's Cube is a toy, but it's a toy that is a challenge for your brain.
Why not give it a try? How fast can you solve a Rubik's Cube?
