My name is Uxo (he/they). I studied Mathematics at the University of Seville and graduated in 2020. My interests include:
- Speedcubing
- Maths and science in general
- Languages
- Geography and maps
I created this account a few years back, but I have only recently started making edits. I intend to focus on keeping cubing-related articles updated.
About me[edit]
Speedcubing[edit]
I learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube in 2009 and since then I have been to more than 100 WCA competitions.[1] In all that time, I have broken 3 European records and more than 40 Spanish national records. I was also a WCA Delegate (a "cubing referee," basically) from 2019 to 2023. Right now, my favourite events are Skewb and Square-1.
Speedcubing is a very important part of my life. I have met most of my current friends at competitions and I get to travel quite often because of it.
Maths[edit]
As stated before, I graduated in Maths in 2020. I have always been fascinated by Maths and science. People often think that Rubik's cubes and Maths go hand in hand, which isn't always the case - although it is for me! In fact, my final dissertation for my university degree was about the group structure of the Skewb.[2]
Languages[edit]
I started learning English when I was 4 and French when I was 6. I passed the C2 Proficiency and DELF B2 in 2015. Apart from these, I have shown interest in a wide variety of languages over the years: Japanese, German, Catalan, Basque, Swedish, modern Greek, Esperanto, etc.
I also studied Translation and Interpretation for a couple years, which has given me some insight into how languages actually work, as well as a solid command of the written Spanish language
Geography[edit]
I have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit, especially around Europe. This has given me the chance to know about different places and the way that countries and communities organise themselves. I am quite a big fan of geography quizzes and diagrams such as underground maps.
Goals in Wikipedia[edit]
My main objective here is to make sure that pages related to speedcubing are kept up to date. Additionally, I will try to look out for typos and poorly written articles in Spanish.
