Coffee Time: Northern Arapaho LVHS freshman takes on Casper Rubik’s Cube competition, plans on solving more cubes one layer at a time

October 05, 2025

(Lander, WY) – The KOVE 1330 AM / 107.7 FM Today in the 10 interview series Coffee Time continued today with host Vince Tropea, who spoke with Zachary Oldman and his mom, Chanda, who shared with County 10 that Zachary recently competed at the “Don’t Blow Away Casper 2025” Rubik’s Cube Competition in Casper, and had an excellent showing for just his second competition.

Zachary is a Northern Arapaho Tribal member who is in the 9th grade at Lander Valley High School, and shares how he came to love Rubik’s Cubes of all shapes (they make 12-sided ones!) and sizes, along with other puzzles as well. Zachary even got in a good burn at Tropea’s expense due to his lack of cubing skills, and handed him a tiny, one-cube “puzzle” while saying, “This is one even you can solve.”
