How To Break A Rubik's Cube Record Underwater, In One Breath
Watch World-Champion Speedcuber Chris Dzoan try to break the one-handed underwater cubing record -- in one breath -- and learn how to break your own underwater record!
Step 1: You will need
- 1 Rubik's Cube
- 1 Weight Belt
- 1 Set of Goggles
- 1 Pool
Step 2: Lube Your Cube
It's easy to move a cube around above water, but below, the water can make the plastic stickier, and harder to handle. Spray the cube with silicone, making sure the resistance from the water will be countered by the lube in the cube.
Step 3: Weights
In very shallow water, strap on a weight belt that's about 15% of your body weight, just heavy enough to keep you sitting comfortably at the bottom of the pool, but light enough to come up whenever you want.
Step 4: Breath Control
Meditate, breathe calmly. This will lower your pulse, so your body will need less oxygen. Make sure a friend is rolling video and breathe 3 deep breaths. On the last one, exhale fully, crunching your stomach, and then calmly take a very deep breath. Immediately sink into the pool.
Move just enough to get the job done. The less you move, the less oxygen you need.
