On Jan.27, 2015, Taipei production team Kuma Films published a YouTube video titled "One Handed Rubik's Cube Madness" featuring Taiwanese one-handed Rubik's Cube genius Hao-Zheng "Chace" Lin.

The video starts by showcasing the variety of Rubik's style cubes which come in different shapes and sizes. Lin performs a number of stunts including juggling balls with one hand and solving cubes on the other. He utilises the various Rubik's cubes--some of which are not even cube-shaped--and solves them all, shown in time lapse.

In the behind-the-scenes video, Hao-Zheng Lin talks about setting records for speed cubing. "The fastest time with one hand is about 9 seconds," he says. "My fastest time is about 12 seconds." He then demonstrates his skills to the Kuma crew, to which the interviewers express their awe. Halfway through the video, he talks about his time as the fastest Rubik's cube solver in Asia five years ago, as well as his first-ever competition in which he earned the record for Taiwan's fastest. Lin also explains which types of cubes are more challenging than the rest, and why.

Kuma Films comprise of brothers Todd and Joe Robins who are dedicated to creating videos of people who have unique talents and hobbies. “One Handed Rubik's Cube Madness” has gotten over 2,000 thumbs-up to date. Watch the video here.
