New Delhi, 17th May 2021: 7 year old boy, Rayaan Malhotra, a grade 2 Student at Heritage
Xperiential School, Gurgaon, solves 16 cubes at an average speed of 35.6
seconds. But that’s not all, he achieved this feat while looking at a computer
screen and identifying all the 195 country flags of the world. His achievement
was registered in the India Book of Records 2021.
“Actually, my personal best of solving a 3*3*3 Rubik’s cube is 13
seconds, but when I have to look at the computer screen to identify and name
the country flags, it slows me down. I also love solving 2*2*2, 4*4*4,
Megaminx, Pyraminx and other variations of Rubik’s Cube.” Rayaan, the record
holder said.
His mother Shivani Malhotra said “Rayaan started taking speed
cubing seriously as a part of his passion project in school. The encouragement
from his teachers, Ms. Tripti & Ms. Poonam motivated him to set the
record.”
Apart from his love for different types of Rubik’s cube, he is
very passionate about making fun tricks to memorize flags and capitals with his
father, Varun Malhotra. During the lockdown, Rayaan with the help of his
parents set up a website and YouTube channel where he shared his fun tricks to
remember flags and capitals.
“We feel he is a quick learner and his ability to concentrate, when we try to teach him new things is quite good” his mother added.
