Rubiks Cube World Record - 1.26 Seconds Non mi sembra vero, ma abbiamo raggiunto i 100mila sticker. What's the limit to how fast a Rubik's cube can be solved? Yiheng and Ruihang are among a number of talented Chinese children who have burst onto the speedcubing scene in recent years, and now that WCA competitions have fully resumed around the world, these young cubers are expected to break numerous records and set unprecedented solve times. Anssi Vanhala solving a 3×3×3 Rubiks Cube with his feet in 36.72 seconds, at the 2009 Estonian Open. All speedcubing records are ratified by the WCA, whereupon they are also recognized by Guinness World Records. Advertisementsġ4-year-old Ruihang Xu is one of the few people to have solved a cube on camera in under three seconds, however, it was not performed in an official WCA competition, thus does not qualify for the world record. Yiheng has won all three speedcubing competitions he’s entered in 2023, which were among the first events to be held in Asia post-pandemic.Īt the Singapore Championship 2023, Yiheng defeated fellow Chinese cubing prodigy Ruihang Xu in the final. Yiheng is sponsored by cube manufacturer GAN, and he is now part of the GAN Gurus, a team of the best speedcubers from all around the world. Luckily, Yiheng has now achieved an even faster time, and the scrambler from Hanoi can breathe a sigh of relief. However, occasionally, human error can lead to scrambles being done incorrectly, which unfortunately was the case for Yiheng. In official WCA competitions, each cube is jumbled up, aka ‘scrambled’, by designated human scramblers who prepare cubes for competitors by following computer-generated sequences.

During the first round of Hanoi Super Brain Zyo 2023, he clocked in an average of 4.75 seconds, but the cube had been incorrectly scrambled for one of the solves, thus his record-breaking time was discounted. The record for the fastest single solve ever remains 3.47 seconds, achieved by Yusheng Du (China) in 2018.Īfter Yiheng’s record-breaking semi-final performance, he progressed to the final of the competition, where he won with an average solve time of 5.97 seconds.Īmazingly, Yiheng actually broke the record two weeks earlier, but it was disqualified.

The second of Yiheng’s five solves (3.90 seconds) was the fifth-fastest single solve ever.
