BArT Hosts World Cube Association Competition
 |
ADAMS, Mass. — On Saturday, January 24, Berkshire Arts and Technology (BART) Charter Public Charter School is hosting the first World Cube Association Competition in Berkshire County in almost 10 years.
The all-day competition, open to the public for viewing, will consist of up to 75 competitors from across the country racing against the clock to solve different types of cubing puzzles. Challenges include solving a standard Rubik's Cube while blindfolded and solving a pyraminx — a four-sided puzzle similar to a Rubik's Cube but instead shaped like a pyramid.
The World Cube Association is a global nonprofit that puts on official competitions to solve mechanical puzzles, such as the famous 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube.
BArT's own Gordon Holey, a mathematics teacher who runs BArT's Cubing Club, will also be competing. Holey has competed in World Cube Association competitions across the country.
