    12 year old Kid Solves The Rubiks Cube in about 3 Seconds? Behind The Mind of CJ Preview Video

     

    Wow! After C.J.'s Rubik's Cube Video received over 150,000 views on CNN's I report site, I had to find out a little more about the kid.

     

    I contacted his mom by e mail and we met Monday - December 7, 2009 at Cincinnati's Main Library. I was amazed at what I heard.

     

    Later that night I met and recorded the family on video. I learned so much about C.J. and his family. Some things C.J. doesn't like to speak about. Other things he's very excited about, such as he solved the Rubik's Cube in about two minutes. Not only can he do that, but he can solve it in about three seconds, (If he does it by a certain memory and movement technique, after he has mixed the color blocks and cube himself.)

     

    C.J. makes A's and B's on his report cards, and he is on the school's honor roll, plus he's enrolled in advanced classes. C.J. also draws and practices the art of Origami (A folding paper art) and much more. He loves math and science and he hopes to become a builder of homes and a teacher.

    C.J. Cincinnati's New Rubik's Cube Kid.

     

    Just a note C.J. just turned 12 mid-summer 2009

     

    He owned one Rubik's Cube Last year, but he said he could only solve one side at the time.

     

    The next time he tried to solve a Rubik's Cube is when he received the Rubik's Cube seen on his video recorded October 30, 2009. He had just received this cube in mid-October 2009. His mom mixed it up not using or even aware of certain memory and movement techniques. She told me she wasn't really even sure he could solve it again as he had before. But as you know C.J. solved it in about two minutes.
