Mumbai: Solving Rubik's cube is a herculean task requiring time and intense concentration, but a 16-year-old in Mumbai solved the puzzle with his eyes closed and within moments.
Mohammad Aiman Koli's mind-boggling speedcubing skills have stunned many including cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. The cricketer shared a video of the teenager solving the cube in record time on social media. “Met this young man a while back & I’m still amazed by what he can do without looking — what most of us can’t do even while looking,” Tendulkar wrote on social media while sharing the video. Aiman had also found a place in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2019 after solving the cube in 15.56 seconds.

Aiman said, his interest in solving the Rubik’s Cube started when he was just nine years old. Talking to ETV Bharat, he said, "It was my mother Tehzeeb Koli who played a key role in turning my hobby into an art."
His mother said that Aiman used to be upset initially when he would lose but we supported him always and stood by him. "As parents, it was our duty to support him and he has made us proud," she said. Aiman has pioneered the art of solving Rubik's cube at a young age and within years became an expert.
