For the love of the game: UW graduate students find joy in Rubik’s cube solving

University of Wisconsin graduate students Chris and Katie Hardwick’s love story began when she saw him blindfolded, solving a Rubik’s cube.

The two met at a Mensa Convention — an event put on by the world’s largest high IQ society, Mensa International — in Orlando, Florida in 2006. Geographic Information Systems Capstone Certificate Program student Katie Hardwick said Chris Hardwick was delivering a talk on the process of blindfolded Rubik’s cube solving.
