Mirza Cosic, an eight-year-old boy from Maglaj, solves Rubik’s cube in just a few seconds. This little guy revealed some interesting details about his hobby.
“They only found out at school that I was doing it when my dad posted a video on Facebook, and later he posted another and another. Then I became famous throughout Maglaj,” he said.
He likes geography and mathematics, speaks English as well as his native language, and researches on the Internet. If you mention any country to him, he will know what its capital is and what its flag looks like. He shows some of them on his cubes.
“Not all the cubes have the colors that are on the flags. I have a cube on which I can show, for example, the flag of India. I have another one on which I can show the Swiss flag, but I don’t haveblack color to stack the flag of Germany, but I know what it looks like,” he said.
He developed the skill of solving Rubik’s cubes gradually, after seeing how others stack them on the Internet. It is a challenging game that requires logical thinking, attention, and patience.
He mastered the algorithms and now he practices matching colors on cubes that have three rows of squares on one edge, but also six rows, and even on those puzzles that have a triangle instead of squares as a base but are arranged according to the same algorithm.
Namely, he mostly buys cubes on trips where he goes with his parents and older brother, who is not particularly interested in this hobby.
“My brother prefers computer science and computer games, and we spend time together at the cottage, where we play football,” he pointed out.
Cubes are exclusively Mirza’s hobby in the Cosic family, and if other children show an interest in solving them, it will not be difficult for him to show them how. He knows that there are competitions in the world in the speed of solving the Rubik’s cube, but he has never competed before, Klix.ba reports.
