Skewb is a type of puzzle cube that is similar to the Rubik's Cube, but with a different internal mechanism. Speedcubing is the activity of solving a puzzle cube as quickly as possible.

Skewb and speedcubing have been found to have several health benefits, including:

  • Improving cognitive function: Solving a skewb requires concentration, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning skills. Regularly practicing speedcubing can help improve these cognitive abilities and may even delay age-related cognitive decline.
  • Enhancing hand-eye coordination: The act of manipulating the skewb requires precise hand movements and coordination. Speedcubing can help improve hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
  • Reducing stress and anxiety: Speedcubing can act as a form of mindfulness, helping to focus the mind and reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Boosting confidence and self-esteem: As people get better at solving the puzzle cube, they may experience a sense of accomplishment and an increase in self-esteem and confidence.
  • Improving memory: Speedcubing requires memorizing various algorithms and patterns. This can help improve memory and recall.
  • Enhancing patience and perseverance: Solving the Skewb can be challenging and requires patience and perseverance. Practicing these skills can be beneficial in other areas of life as well.
