Solving Rubik's cube can be a challenge for many, but let's agree, it is also fun to figure out how to solve it. Even though it may take a lot of time for some to solve it, for this 9-year-old Chinese boy, it seems to be a cakewalk. Yiheng Wang set a new Guinness World Record for the quickest average time to solve a spinning 3x3x3 puzzle cube, finishing in 3.90 seconds.
Yiheng Wang managed to break the joint record of Max Park (USA) and Tymon Kolasiski (Poland.) They shared the record with a timing of 4.86 seconds. On March 12 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Yiheng set a new record during the semi-final of the Yong Jun KL Speedcubing 2023 competition.
The World Cube Association mandates that the quickest and slowest times be subtracted from the average. Over the course of five solves, Wang recorded 4.35, 3.90, 4.41, 5.31, and 6.16 seconds. The second of Wang's five solves (3.90 seconds) was the fifth-fastest single solve ever. Guinness World Records also shared a video of Wang solving the Rubik's cube.
