Our budding speedcubers have embraced the CFOP method, a sophisticated approach that breaks down the solve into four stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- C – Cross<\/strong>: The foundation of every great solve. Form a white cross on the bottom face.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- F – F2L (First Two Layers)<\/strong>: This is where the magic truly begins. Pair corners with their corresponding edges, building the first two layers of the cube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- O – OLL (Orient Last Layer)<\/strong>: As the tension mounts, form yellow top face. Through a series of intricate algorithms, they orient the last layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- P – PLL (Permute Last Layer)<\/strong>: Rearrange the top layer pieces to their correct positions, completing the solve with a flourish.

Beyond the Cube<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benefits of this cubing adventure extend far beyond the plastic squares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Laser Focus<\/strong>: Students have honed their ability to concentrate intensely, blocking out distractions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Patience Perfected<\/strong>: They’ve learned that greatness takes time and practising the steps over and over until they can do them quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Memory Mastery<\/strong>: Memorising algorithms and recognizing patterns has given their cognitive abilities a significant boost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Creativity Unleashed<\/strong>: Problem-solving skills have soared as students discover innovative ways to tackle each unique cube state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As Lower III continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, we can’t help but marvel at their growth. From fumbling with a scrambled cube to executing lightning-fast solves, they’ve proven that with dedication and the right approach, any challenge can be conquered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This term, Lower III have embarked on the incredible journey to solving a Rubik\u2019s cube. What began as a curious exploration has blossomed into a full-fledged passion, with students now achieving solve times of just over a minute \u2013 a feat that once seemed impossible!
