An adept cubist is one who is able to determine the algorithm with the fewest steps. Cubing is definitely an extremely skillful sport that requires vast training and competence.Winning occurs at fractions of seconds between competitors.

Aryan carries a respected name in the cubing industry. At age 16, he qualifies as a professional cubist. He looks forward to attending events and learning from those better than him.
