Oklahoma City students challenge Rubik’s
Eleven-year-old William Mlekush almost apologized when asked to solve a Rubik’s Cube that is five rows across by five rows deep, although it wasn’t because the puzzle was too hard for him.
Members of the GT Rubik’s Cube Club at Dove Science Academy Elementary School solve various types of cubes.
