A University of Michigan student is one of the world's foremost 'speedcubers,' a person capable of quickly solving a Rubik's Cube.
Factoring in the time it takes for him to review the cube before placing the blindfold over his eyes, Chapel can solve one in around 17 seconds.
Chapel has certain inherent abilities: He is capable of remembering and applying thousands of algorithms to solve a Rubik’s Cube and performing one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s violin sonatas from memory. Chapel says years of playing the violin also has contributed to him having “very, very fine motor control already built up.”
