Be the Best in the World
Lawrence always wanted to be the best in the world. He always wanted to set a world record. At something. At anything. What world record can he set? Well, as a child he was a classic nerd and wasn't very good at sport. But he was pretty good at the Rubik's Cube. In fact, he still has a shrine to the Hungarian inventor Erno Rubik in his bedroom. Lawrence throws down the gauntlet. Midnight Friday. There's a new cube king in town. Fight Cube. In a dimly lit, sweaty basement below Caltech, nerdy speedcubers gather to challenge Lawrence. Despite having trained with Australia's fastest cuber, Jasmine Lee, Lawrence is ultimately humiliated at the subterranean Fight Cube by a US champion speedcuber Adam Zamora. Lawrence realises he needs to combine his skills with danger and potential death to come up with something unique. 6,000 feet above the ground and ready to jump, with nothing but a parachute and a Rubik's Cube between death or glory, Lawrence wonders if perhaps he hasn't taken his pursuit of a world record just a little too far. Can he set a world record for the quickest solve of a Rubik's Cube while skydiving?
