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 ...
The most prominent puzzle in this category is the 3×3×3 puzzle, commonly known as the Rubik's Cube. Participants in this sport are called "speedcubers" (or simply "cubers"), who focus specifically on solving these puzzles at high speeds to get low clock times.
Non-human solving: The fastest non-human Rubik's Cube solve was performed by Rubik's Contraption, a robot made by Ben Katz and Jared Di Carlo. A YouTube video shows a 0.38-second solving time using a Nucleo with the min2phase algorithm. [98] Highest order physical n×n×n cube solving: Jeremy Smith solved a 21x21x21 in 95 minutes and 55.52 seconds.
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.
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.
On 22 June 2024 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, Wang achieved a world record average of 0.78 seconds on the 2×2×2.The manner in which Wang started the competition-standard StackMat timer drew criticism; frame-by-frame analysis of the solves revealed that Wang had touched or even begun turning the puzzle before lifting his hands off the timer in some of the solves, [12] both of which constitute ...
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 ...
Feliks Aleksanders Zemdegs [1] (/ ˈ f ɛ l ɪ k s ˈ z ɛ m d ɛ ɡ z /, Latvian: Fēlikss Zemdegs; born 20 December 1995) is an Australian Rubik's Cube speedsolver.He is one of only two speedcubers ever to win the World Cube Association World Championship twice (the other being Max Park), winning in 2013 and 2015, and is widely considered the most successful and greatest speedcuber of all time.
