The boys headed down to Melbourne again for another Rubiks competition. This time Carson went along and competed in his first ever cubing competition. They had a great weekend together and here are some of the highlights...

This is the oldest person at the competition alongside the youngest!

So here is the rundown...
Braden's best times
3x3 - 20.71
2x2 - 5.65
4x4 - 1:55
5x5 - 3:57
one-handed 3x3 - 1:03
pyraminx 14.55
Braden's official results and ranking can be found here at World Cube Association.
Carson's best times
3x3 - 39.84
2x2 - 13.27
Carson's official results and rankings can also be found here. Carson was especially excited because he had set a goal to have all his solves under 1 minute and he did just that!
Here is a video of Carson and Braden...
Here's another video of Braden at the Melbourne Summer Open...
Until yesterday, Braden's fastest time was 15.31, which can be seen here...
However, his new PB (personal best) is 12.81! It was approximately 1 year ago that Braden picked up Miles' (his friend from across the street that we miss so much!) Rubiks cube and learned to solve it by watching a tutorial online. It took him about 30 minutes. Then, I remember blogging about his first solve under 2 minutes last year! To think he can solve it in less then 15 seconds is crazy! And now, Carson has joined in and figured out how to solve it in less than a minute! I wake up every morning to the sound of cubes turning and slamming to the table!
