June 11 (UPI) -- A Rubik's cube enthusiast solved two of the puzzles in mid-air during his first-ever day of skydiving to break a Guinness World Record.
Ishaan Hadkar, 24, who has been solving puzzle cubes since he was 10 years old, went skydiving for the first time over Oceanside, Calif., to attempt the Guinness World Record for the most rotating puzzle cubes solved in a single skydive.
Hadker's first attempt, which was also his first-ever jump from a plane, ended prematurely.
"I had absolutely no idea what to expect or how it would feel. During my first record attempt, which was also my first ever skydive, one of my cubes actually broke mid-air," he told Guinness World Records. "But I didn't want to give up, so I immediately got on the next plane and attempted the record again the very next minute."
Hadker managed to solve two cubes before landing on the ground from 13,000 feet to successfully take the record on his second attempt.
