There are several billion combinations, but only one solution – for many, the Rubik’s cube isn’t just a game, but a competitive sport too.

The humble cube is experiencing something of a renaissance, with a new generation taking up the puzzle during the Covid pandemic.
Some competitors can complete it in lightning speeds of less than 10 seconds.
