Chennai: Shradha Ashok, a four-year-old kindergarten student in Chennai, is promising to become a Rubik's Cube champion. The little girl takes just five minutes to solve the three-layered cube.
Her father R Ashok, an IT professional, who's also a cube enthusiast, says he motivated her initially and then there was no stopping.
"When I taught her simple moves she just grasped. I just spent weekends with her and she's been playing on her own over the last three and a half months. She has also learnt short cuts," says Mr Ashok.
She's also a star at her school. A few days ago she cracked the puzzle in front of a large school audience in just four minutes. Anitha Daniel, the headmistress of the Kaligi Ranganathan Montford Matric School, said, "Shradha is a keen observer and hugely talented. We are proud of her. She'd go places."
The parents want to nurture Shradha to gain even more speed so that she can finish the cube in less than a minute, just like veterans. Ashok is confident "she would do it in just a month."
