Max Park solves Rubik’s Cube in 3.13 seconds, setting new world record
Baku, June 16, AZERTAC
American Max Park has set a new world record by solving a 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube in just 3.13 seconds, according to New York Post.
The 21-year-old achieved the feat at an event in Long Beach, California over the weekend, according to Guinness World Records.
The previous record was 3.47 seconds, set by China’s Yusheng Du in 2018, it said.
“Before this, Max’s fastest single solve was 3.63 seconds, which put him in second place behind Yusheng Du’s 3.47,” read an article on Guinness World Records’ website.
Park also holds the record for the fastest time to solve 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 cubes.
Guinness World Records says Park has autism and his parents, Schwan and Miki, say cubing is a “good therapy” for him.
“There was a time when Max couldn’t even open water bottles, but he showed interest in solving Rubik’s Cubes,” they were quoted as saying.
