Solving a Rubik's cube is no cake walk, it takes years of practice, concentration and dedication to master the art. Now imagine solving 9 of them, that too underwater, in 1 minute and 48 seconds - that's what Mumbai's Chinmay Prabhu achieved and it's mind-boggling but amazing!

The Guinness Book of World Records had set Mr Prabhu a target of four Pyraminxes, but he went on to solve nine!

Chinmay Prabhu had achieved the feat on December, 2018 by solving the Pyraminx sitting under water in a pool and he received the Guinness certificate on March 15, 2019.

Chinmay has been solving Rubik's cube puzzles since 2015 told ANI, "I like cubing and swimming, so I thought of mixing the two and creating a new title. I had to ask Guinness to create a new title for underwater cubing as there was no such title on their list earlier," Mr Prabhu told ANI.

"Initially I could hold my breath only for 30-35 seconds. Gradually the breath holding capacity increased to one and a half minutes," Mr Prabhu said while talking about his journey since the last five years.

"I thought if I scored only four or five, somebody will break the record someday. So I took it to nine Pyraminxes," says Mr Prabhu, who underwent a rigorous five-month training to achieve his goal.

Mr Prabhu has now started coaching others. "I teach cubing to many others during the weekend. My youngest student is just 4," he said.
