Rubik's Cube competition takes place Saturday Oct 10 with seven categories and no age limit
Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, will host the first official speedcubing tournament in Misiones on Saturday October 10. The competition, which involves solving the Rubik's Cube and similar puzzles in the shortest possible time, follows the World Cube Association (WCA) regulations.
The event will be held at the Instituto Privado Crecer, located at Avenida San Lorenzo 86 in the Villa 14 neighborhood. Registration costs 7,000 pesos per person and grants access to all seven categories: Pyramid, 3×3, diagonal turn, 2×2, 4×4, Megaminx, and 3×3 one-handed.
The tournament is open to men and women of all ages. According to Luciano Flores, the organizer, the discipline requires practice, memory, concentration, and precision. One of the most commonly used methods in competitions is the Fridrich system, also known as CFOP, which is based on a step-by-step solving sequence. Flores says he started with the cube as a hobby and now averages 33 seconds to solve a 3×3 Rubik's Cube.
The event includes a charitable component: participants and spectators can donate non-perishable food, which will be given to families in need in Puerto Iguazú. The public will be admitted, and the organization will also request assistance to support the campaign.
Official speedcubing competitions began to develop in Argentina in 2014, according to Flores.
