What made you choose to join the Abertay Cubing Society?

I’ve always had a love for puzzles, cubes being one of the main puzzles I enjoy. So joining the society seemed like the perfect way to bond with other people over a shared interest.

 

When did you solve your first Rubik’s Cube, and how long did it take?

I solved my first cube at some point during 2020 and it took about 30 minutes. (I was following a youtube video :)

 

What’s the weirdest cube or puzzle you own or have tried?

Either the 3x3x9 or the 2x2x3 shaped like a dinosaur.

 

What advice would you give to a new cuber just starting out?

To keep practicing because it will click eventually you might just need to see it a different way.

 

What's your favourite board game or video game, and what makes it so enjoyable for you?

I’d have to say Slime Rancher, I just love collecting the slimes, and my favourite has to be the puddle slimes. I’m a sucker for any farm simulator game, hence I also like Stardew Valley.

 

If you could have any animal as a pet, regardless of practicality or legality, what would you choose and why?

Rats, since they’re quite clever and can be trained to do certain tricks.
