Jamal Quinones hopes to match the national record for solving Rubik’s cube.

 

Jamal Quinones, a 9th grader at BRHS, can solve the Rubik’s cube in under a minute. To solve the puzzle, he must rotate the faces on the cube until each side is just one color. Some folks can’t solve the puzzle, no matter how much they try, which is what makes Jamal’s fast moves so impressive.
