The Rubik's Cube: My Journey as a Red-Green Colorblind Solver

I still remember the day I picked up my first Rubik’s Cube at the age of 8. What started as a playful curiosity quickly turned into a passion that has stayed with me ever since. At first, the puzzle seemed impossible—especially because I’m red-green colorblind. Distinguishing certain colors was a constant hurdle, and solving the cube felt like an overwhelming challenge.

But I wasn’t ready to give up. Determined to succeed, I developed my own techniques, focusing on patterns, shades, and spatial understanding instead of relying solely on color recognition. Slowly but steadily, I began solving the cube faster and more confidently.

Over the years, my practice and perseverance paid off. Today, my personal best time to solve a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube is an impressive 8 seconds! This achievement reminds me that with dedication and creative problem-solving, it’s possible to overcome any obstacle.

Solving the cube has taught me patience, focus, and the value of persistence. It’s more than just a hobby—it’s a testament to finding solutions that work for you, no matter the challenge. For anyone facing similar difficulties, my advice is simple: embrace the process, experiment with your methods, and believe in your potential to achieve greatness.
