Rubik’s cubes solved while skydiving

A 24-yearold puzzle enthusiast has set a Guinness World Record by solving two Rubik’s cubes during a skydive from 13,000 feet over Ocean-side, California.

It was Ishaan Hadkar’s first time skydiving, and his initial attempt ended when one of the cubes broke mid-air. Undeterred, he immediately made a second jump and successfully solved one cube during freefall and another after opening his parachute, earning the record for the most rotating puzzle cubes solved in a single skydive.

Hadkar said the windy conditions and freefall speeds of 120 mph made the challenge especially difficult.
