This is a video highlighting the Rubik’s Cube solving robot built by Purdue University undergraduates, which just set the world record for fastest Rubik’s Cube solve with a time of 103 milliseconds (0.103 seconds). That’s faster than a blink. The previous record was 305 milliseconds, which the robot can reliably
Because there’s a Guinness World Record for everything (especially when it comes to Rubik’s Cubes), this is a video of Singaporean Daryl Tan Hong An setting the record for most Rubik’s Cubes solved underwater in one breath, with a very respectable 14. For reference about how impressive that is, I
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. Could I do
This is a video of Italian athlete and World Memory champion Andrea Muzii demonstrating his abilities by solving a Rubik’s Cube while performing a one-arm handstand. Of course his legs are supported by the wall, so I vote for a disqualification. I’ve also included a video of Andrea completing a
Completely destroying the previous record of a hardly worthy 65 cubes, 16-year old Nova Scotian teen Saul Halfting spent an hour and twelve minutes solving 211 Rubik’s Cubes back-to-back while bouncing on a pogo stick. Wow, and I have yet to solve even a single Rubik’s cube, bouncing or not.
Dream it, and you can achieve it. Case in point: this video of Youtuber and LEGO maniac PuzzLEGO successfully constructing a fully functional 3 x 3 Rubik’s Cube entirely out of LEGO pieces. How about that! Plus this cube has the added benefit of the colors being easy to remove
