For most events, an average of five is taken, but for 6×6×6, 7×7×7, 3×3×3 blindfolded, 3×3×3 fewest moves, 4×4×4 blindfolded and 5×5×5 blindfolded, an average of three is taken. For averages of five solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped, and the mean of the remaining three solves is taken. For averages of three solves ...
A method to do so is to start by constructing a cross on both sides (at 12 o’clock) and then solving the corner clocks individually. The Rubik's Clock is listed as one of the 17 WCA events, with records for fastest time to solve one puzzle, and the fastest average time to solve 5 puzzles (discarding the slowest and fastest times). Viable ...
Skewb, a cube-shaped puzzle added in 2014 as an official WCA event due to its growing popularity and the ease of its regulations. [28] Square-1, a cubed puzzle that changes shape as it is solved; Rubik's Clock, a double-sided circle-shaped puzzle with 9 clock faces on it that is considered solved when all clock hands are in the 12 o'clock position.
Wang's global 3×3×3 dominance peaked in December 2024 when he held the 29 all-time fastest average performances, ranging from 4.73 down to 4.05 seconds. [11] He currently holds 68 of the 100 fastest 3×3×3 averages, along with the fastest 3×3×3 single time, at 3.08 seconds.
On 19 October 2017, with a time of 53.86 seconds, Gadiraju broke the world record for the fastest time to complete two Rubik's cubes simultaneously underwater. [7] One year later, he solved a Gear Cube in a world record time of 3.79 seconds and a Rubik's Magic blindfolded in 2.99 seconds, also a world record.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest speedcubers of all time, Park is one of only two speedcubers ever to win the World Cube Association World Championship twice (the other being Feliks Zemdegs), winning in 2017 and 2023. [1] He holds the world records for the fastest 4×4×4, 6×6×6, and 7×7×7 solves, as well as the 5×5×5 mean record.
This allows smooth and fast rotation and created what was arguably the fastest and most durable version of the puzzle available at that time. Unlike the original 5×5×5 design, the V-Cube 5 mechanism was designed to allow speedcubing. [6] Most current production 5×5×5 speed cubes have mechanisms based on Verdes' patent.
On April 25, 2015 he set the world record for the fastest 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube single solve with a time of 5.25. He set that time (which was the world record for approximately eight months) using the YuXin brand 3x3 cube. [1] [2] [3] Burns solved the cube 0.3 seconds faster than the previous world record of 5.55 seconds, set by Mats Valk.
