A Rubik's cube artist has stunned netizens after he managed to solve the puzzle in one second. The person, who goes by the name Hyde, shared this seemingly impossible feat through a carefully crafted trick on his Instagram account on May 19.
In just 3.13 seconds, a 21-year-old speedcuber from California broke the world record for the fastest time of solving a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube, according to Guinness World Records.
Therefore ignoring the for all intents and purposes identical, centre squares and orientations of the cube, the cube has 519,024,039,293,878,272,000 possible states. The probability of solving it on any given random move is therefore 1 in 519 billion billion.
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, Max Park can solve a Rubik's Cube. The 21-year-old from California set a Guinness World Record for the fastest time in solving a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube when he nailed it in an astonishing 3.13 seconds on June 11.
9-year-old speedcubing prodigy Yiheng Wang (China) has broken the record for the fastest average time to solve a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube, with a time of 4.69 seconds.
The Fastest Time to Solve a Rubik's Cube in the Boy's 10-12 year old Category is 31 Seconds and was complete by Jayce in Cloquet - MN, US on July 28th, 2022.
It is estimated that only 5.8% of the total population can solve the Rubik's cube. So if you are among the elite ones, you deserve to take pride in the feat achieved. While learning to solve the Rubik's cube the mind multi-tasks.
But it's not just me — solving a Rubik's cube is actually really hard. According to mathematicians, solving a cube is considered NP complete. In simple terms, this means Rubik's cubes are extremely difficult to solve mathematically. It even took Erno Rubik, the inventor of the cube, a month to solve his own cube.
The fastest time to solve a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube is 3.13 seconds by Max Park (USA) at the Pride in Long Beach 2023 event in Long Beach, California, USA, on 11 June 2023.
The 2x2x2 Rubik's cube, or in its official name- the Pocket Cube, is another puzzle in the Rubik's cube series, invented by Erno Rubik. It is considered the "easy" version of the Rubik's cube. You will find out that solving the 2x2 cube is much easier than solving the classic 3x3x3 cube.

Rubik's cubes can be learned by kids as young as three years old. It's the perfect learning activity for kids who are bursting with curiosity and love to solve puzzles.
In 1995 Michael Reid (mathematician) found a Rubik's Cube configuration called the 'super-flip'. He proved that it requires at least 20 moves to solve. This can be performed using an algorithm. This algorithm will lead to a position wherein all the single corners are solved, and every edge is exactly in its place.
In 2010, a group of mathematicians and computer programmers proved that any Rubik's Cube can be solved in, at most, 20 moves.
A Rubik's Cube has one core, eight corner cubies, and 12 edge cubies. The immediate math to be done with those numbers is the total number of ways you can scramble a Rubik's cube: 43,252,003,274,489,856,000. Written in a more mathematical way, that number is (388!)(
The most rotating puzzle cubes solved in 24 hours is 6,931, and was achieved by George Scholey (UK), in London, UK, between 9-10 November 2022.
Solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded can seem like a very challenging and awesome event, even for speedcubers. However, if you break it down into a few standard steps and then practice enough to gain confidence in your ability, this event will not be as hard as it looks.
Divisha Bhansali, a 3-year-old girl from Delhi's Vivek Vihar can solve cubes in five minutes. She already has a record to her name and has won an award for the youngest cube solver.
Pyraminx Duo
This variation might be the easiest of them all. The Pyramix Duo is another puzzle where the pieces are connected through the edges. Even if you have little to no experience with Rubik's cubes, you can quickly solve a Pyramix Duo in just four moves.
A talented 9-year-old Chinese boy has solved the cube in record-breaking average time. According to the Guinness World Record, the speed cubing prodigy Yiheng Wang (China) has broken the record for the fastest average time to solve a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube, with a time of 4.69 seconds.
