Cubes and cube solving tips from Nico the speed cuber! Nico began solving cubes over his 2018 Winter break from school when he was ten.

After watching a YouTube video tutorial on Beginner’s Method, he spent three hours and finally solved the cube for the first time. After that first solve, he continued solving and got his time down to one hour, then fifteen minutes, and by the time he went back to school he was able to consistently solve in under five minutes. As his solve times continued dropping, Nico began posting videos of his solves. A toy and game store owner inside a local farmer’s market invited Nico to come into his shop to solve cubes. Nico took the job and began appearing at the store weekly, performing hundreds of timed solves for customers. Soon Nico purchased his own stock of cubes and began selling and solving cubes in his own space outside at the farmer’s market. He wrote an overview that explained how he learned to solve and how others could follow the same methods. This overview was included with each cube sold. This was the beginning of That Cube Kid. Soon other stores invited That Cube Kid to appear. Nico also became a vendor at local craft fairs and events. In the Fall of 2019, That Cube Kid began selling cubes online – first through direct mail order, then on the business’ eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/usr/that_cube_kid

By the start of Winter 2019, That Cube Kid began work on its own video tutorial for Beginner’s Method and launched its YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnKvKiWl5Qfkgx41D3MYAKw

In February of 2020, Nico competed in his first World Cubing Association hosted event in Princeton. That Cube Kid continues to appear at local businesses and events around south Jersey.

That Cube Kid has gone to college!

On August 17, 2026, I started at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York as a freshman. I’ll be studying Government and possibly double majoring in History. Classes start on Monday, so for now I’m focusing on exploring Cornell’s amazing campus and getting to know Ithaca.

And don’t worry – I brought my cubes with me! 😄

My college essay was about starting That Cube Kid when I was ten years old and everything I’ve learned from running a business, from learning how to interact with customers to meeting people at cubing competitions and events where I sold cubes and did timed solves.

I’ve already started meeting other cubers and there are plans to start a cubing club on campus!

Running That Cube Kid helped me get to where I am now so I really appreciate all the support I got over the years from everyone I met. I’m looking forward to seeing where this next chapter takes me.

This weekend I competed at the Mid-Atlantic Championship 2025 in Oaks, PA for three days. I wound up getting my Personal Record in 3x3 with 6.78 seconds and competed in other events. It was cool hanging out with hundreds of other cubers from all over the country.

On Saturday, I took part in the Bucks County Cubing PM 2025 in New Britain, PA, competing in 3x3, 3x3 Blindfolded, and Clock. I placed 10th in 3x3 and, for the first time in a competition, successfully solved the 3x3 Blindfolded.
