Puzzling Skydive as Man Completes Rubik’s Cube at 2,500m, in a Dinghy
Well, he was in one sense. He jumped out of a plane at 4,300 metres. His boat was held in place by two helper skydivers and the student cracked the Cube with a satisfying 2,500 metres to spare. So he had plenty of time to deploy his parachute, float safely to the ground, and relax in the knowledge that the YouTube video of his exploits were guaranteed to take off.
Fichte said: ‘Solving the Rubik’s Cube in freefall has been done before by three people, as far as I know. But I am the first to do it in a rubber boat.’

In the meantime, check out the plane crazy YouTube video of Fichte’s Rubik’s Cube antics:
