"Speedcubing: El pasatiempo vintage que eleva tu felicidad"

En un frío día de noviembre, cientos de personas se congregaron en una arena de Coventry, que anteriormente había albergado conciertos de Oasis, Rihanna y Harry Styles, para un evento de una naturaleza muy diferente.

The 500 people who turned out - some from as far afield as Mongolia and Canada - were taking part in an activity less known for drawing in crowds: the Rubik's UK Championship in "speedcubing," or racing to solve puzzle cubes at terrific speed.

Rows of tables were laid out in the arena and 15 events took place over three days. Some involved solving the puzzle one-handed, others while blindfolded. Teenager James Alonso won the tournament's biggest event - solving the classic 3x3 cube at speed with an average of 6.3 seconds.
