Most people need a solid five seconds to plot their first move on a Rubik's Cube, but in that time, champion Collin Burns completed the entire puzzle.
During the final round of a Rubik's Cube competition on Saturday at Central Bucks West High School in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Burns broke the world record for fastest time restoring a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube, solving it in just 5.25 seconds. The previous record, held by Mats Valk from the Netherlands, was 5.55 seconds.
Although the record has not yet been updated, Saturday's competition was an official one held by the World Cube Association.
A WCA representative confirmed to Mashable on Sunday that Burns officially broke the record: "Although this result has not been uploaded to the WCA database just yet, we can confirm that this is (or will be soon) the new official WCA world record for the 3x3x3 single solve category. To our best knowledge, it has been performed in an official competition, with all the rules being followed, even the scramble has been checked for its correctness."
