A 20-year-old from Mumbai attempted a record of both physical and mental skill by solving nine pyraminx puzzles while holding his breath underwater.

Chinmay Prabhu has made it to the Guinness World Records on March 15 for solving the nine pyraminx, or pyramid-shaped Rubik’s cubes, underwater, completing the feat in just one minute and forty eight seconds.

The Guiness World Records website has documented the record as the “Most Pyraminx (Rubik’s cube) solved underwater".

A BSc student in IT at KES College in Kandivali, Prabhu set a similar record by solving nine such Rubik’s cubes sitting inside a pool of Goregaon Sports Club on December 9, 2018.

Prabhu has been solving Rubik’s cube puzzles since 2015, and says he attempted this record because he "likes cubing and swimming, I thought of merging the both and coming up with something different."

Prabhu now owns nearly 80 different types of cubes and has attended around 12 national cubing competitions.

In 2017, Prabhu made it to the Limca Book of Records for solving a mirror cube, which has same colour on all sides, but needs to be brought into a cube’s shape, blindfolded.
