To solve the Rubik’s Cube at its deepest point, “he applied for a world record.”
Suleman Dawood always carried a Rubik’s Cube with him. There was no exception with the submarine used to investigate the Titanic’s wreckage at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean.
Suleman, who perished at the age of 19 along with his father and three other people when the Titan submarine collapsed, had intended to record himself resolving a Rubik’s Cube 12,500 feet below the surface of the Atlantic.
In an on-camera interview, Christine Dawood said, “He applied for a world record because, basically, he wanted to solve the Rubik’s Cube at the deepest point. She informed him that the request had been turned down, but he still intended to record the riddle.
At 3,700 metres down, he declared, “I’m going to solve the Rubik’s Cube,” Christine recalled. And he was very enthusiastic about this.
Now that Suleman has passed away, Christine and her daughter Alina, 17, want to pay tribute to him by mastering the Rubik’s Cube. We are terrible at it, so that will be a problem for us, she remarked. We made a self-promised commitment to learn it for Suleman.
According to a statement from Guinness World Records, Suleman did submit an application earlier this year “with a new record title suggestion for the deepest Rubik’s Cube solve.”
The Titan vanished off the Canadian province of Newfoundland, drawing the attention of the entire globe during a four-day, international search and rescue mission. Shahzada Dawood, 48, a British Pakistani billionaire, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, two other wealthy passengers who each paid $250,000, as well as CEO of the running business Stockton Rush, were also on board.
The Incident provides further information about the youngest passenger, Suleman, who had just received his diploma from the ACS International School Cobham in England. It also highlights the impact the loss of a father and a sibling had on the family.
“I really, really miss them,” Christine gushed.
Christine revealed that the original plan called for her and her husband to depart in the Titan prior to the coronavirus epidemic. Suleman was ineligible for the expedition because he wasn’t yet 18 years old.
However, the epidemic changed the family’s schedule. Christine claimed that when it came time for the trip in June, she “stepped back and gave the space to Suleman because he really wanted to go.”
The father and son team had been planning this trip “for a very long time,” she claimed. I was overjoyed for them.
The Titan incident prompted a U.S. Coast Guard inquiry, raised concerns about OceanGate, the firm that operated the submersible, and intensified attention of the uncontrolled deep-sea tourism sector.
From the Canadian research vessel Polar Prince, Christine and her daughter followed the submersible’s route. She claimed that she “lost hope when we passed the 96-hour mark,” which is the alleged time at which the submersible’s oxygen supply ran out.
The family “hugged and laughed” before Shahzada and Suleman boarded the Titan, Christine recalled.
She claimed that it had been her husband’s longtime ambition. Shahzada “was like a little kid, he was so eager to go down.”
Since the submarine vanished, Christine, a board member of the Dawood Foundation and a professional development and life coach, hasn’t spoken on television until the interview.
Suleman loved playing volleyball, reading science fiction, and watching movies. And, according to his mother Christine, “he loved his father,” showing an interest in the pursuits Shahzada took pleasure in.
Suleman was good at solving Rubik’s Cubes and, according to his mother, learned how to do so by watching YouTube tutorials. She said that he could do one in as little as 12 seconds. The quickest average time to solve a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube, according to Guinness World Records, is 4.48 seconds.
Christine claimed that Suleman once moved his family to the front of the check-in queue after impressing an airport security guard with how quickly he solved a Rubik’s Cube. Christine reported that the guard “said, “You go, because that is impressive,””
Christine stated that she and her daughter intend to “watch every single movie that he liked” in memory of Suleman. Christine stated that she also intended to carry on her husband’s career. The Pakistani conglomerate Engro Corp., which has a variety of industrial holdings including fertilisers, textiles, and food, has Shahzada as its vice chairman.
