Under the streets of Madrid, in an orange train that was taking us to the north east of the city, we met Manuel Lopez Sheriff.
Manuel, an 18 year old student from Madrid, has the talent of resolving the colour set of a Rubik's cube in a matter of seconds. He showed us his technique and we watched him all amazed. He has been practising for just over 4 months and is now one of the fastest Rubik's cube solvers in Spain.
Coincidentally, on our way back to the centre, we met him again on the green line from El Capricho to Gran Via. On the journey we filmed him solve the cube with his eyes shut and with one hand. His current record stands at 33 seconds with one hand, and 20 seconds using both hands! He introduced us to the underground world of the 21st century cubists. In October he'll be going the World Rubik's Cube Championship 2007 to be held in Budapest.
