The current record-holder for a standard 3x3x3 cube is 22-year-old Korean American Max Park, who solved the Rubik’s Cube in 3.13 seconds at a competition in Long Beach, California last year ...
[1] [3] The R-24 Bibic (Lapwing) was identical to the Gébics apart from its wing. This had a 15 m (49 ft 3 in) span to enable it to compete as a Standard Class glider, an area of 12.30 m 2 (132.4 sq ft) and aspect ratio of 18.3. It used the laminar flow NACA 64 3 618 airfoil, though the wing structure was unchanged. When a government decision ...
