A 21-year-old boy has burst the bounds of the Rubik’s Cube solving in an unbelievable display of speed and talent, breaking a new world record by completing the renowned puzzle in an incredible three seconds.
Max Park, a youthful virtuoso who has astounded enthusiasts and experts with his lightning-fast problem-solving ability, accomplished the feat.
Max beat the previous 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube record with a time of 3.13 seconds at a speed-cubing tournament in Long Beach, California – an average person would take that time to take a sip of a drink.
Spectators were in wonder as Park maneuvered the colorful cube, his muscle memory and finely tuned algorithms directing his every move.
Gasps of astonishment filled the room as the final seconds faded away, and with one triumphant flourish, Max revealed a perfectly solved Rubik’s Cube.

Yusheng Du of China established the previous record in 2018 with a time of 3.47 seconds.
“Before this, Max’s fastest single solve time was 3.63 seconds, which put him in second place behind Yusheng Du’s 3.47,” according to the Guinness World Records website.
Park has autism, according to Guinness, and his parents, Schwan and Miki, have remarked that cubing has been “good therapy” for him.
The 21-year-old also holds the record for the quickest time to complete spinning puzzle cubes with dimensions of 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7.
