Speedcubing

From Speedsolving.com Wiki

Speedcubing or speedsolving, sometimes shortened to just cubing, is a sport in which one tries to solve the Rubik's cube or other puzzles, typically either any type of twisty puzzle or, less frequently, a Rubik's Clock, as fast as possible. There is a wide range of variants to this such as Blindsolving, One-Handed solving or Feet solving. A person practicing this sport is called a speedcuber. The administrative body is the WCA.
