The New Rubik’s Cube World Record Is Just 3.13 Seconds

In roughly the time it took you to read this sentence, Max Park solved a Rubik’s Cube. With his time of 3.13 seconds, Park bested Yusheng Du’s 2018 mark of 3.47 seconds. Just watch the video above…it’s ridiculous. I love how the judge comes in to preserve the scene as everyone goes bananas.

Park was one of the subjects of the excellent documentary, The Speed Cubers (trailer).
