This is a video of Rubik’s Cuber (Cubist?) Max Park beating the previous Rubik’s Cube speed solving record of 3.47 seconds (which stood for 4.5 years) with a blistering 3.13 second finish. For reference, the Rubik’s Cube I’ve had since I was 7 remains unsolved, so my personal best, which
Built by inventive digital clock creator Hans Andersson, the Time Twister 5 is a digital time display that rotates its Rubik’s Cube (or Rubik’s Triangular Prism in this case) style pieces to change the time. Would I be proud to display this in my living room? Yes. Of course I’d
This is a video of Colombian puggler (that’s puzzle juggler, not to be confused with a juzzler, which is something else entirely) Angel Alvarado setting the Guinness World Record for fastest time solving three Rubik’s Cubes while juggling them, with a fairly respectable 4 minutes 31.01 seconds.

This is a short video of a puzzle cuber solving a Skewb Cube (a Rubik’s Cube-like puzzle consisting of five-piece faces “with cuts through the centre, orthogonal to the main diagonals”) so fast (I think he says 1.51-seconds) the guy working the backup stopwatch is confused as to what just
This is one of the $1,900 tiny 9.9-millimeter (I lied in the title like a no-good son of a gun) Rubik’s Cubes going on sale in Japan to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the toy being sold in the country. And, I think we can all agree, what a way
