Rubik’s Cube Puzzle: 11.13 seconds world record
Tuesday, January 17th, 2006 | 7:28 am @ SK
Rubik’s Cube puzzle, a mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik, is said to be the world’s biggest selling toy, with 300,000,000 Rubik’s Cubes and imitations sold worldwide.
I’m always impressed by peers who manage to turn the cube from scrambled to solve state within a brief interval.
Via CNN:
But heck, Tyson Mao, a 20-year-old California Institute of Technology student set a new world record for solving the puzzle in 11.13 seconds, in BLINDFOLDED mode!
Any scientific explaination? Is "Practises make perfect" applicable, still?
Hmm …

i used to be crazy about all things rubik many years ago, and could speed-solve the 3×3x3 cube in 60 seconds flat. i did try to go even faster, but after trying for several months, gave up. maybe cos i was using a "lauya" cube? no competition? no coach? no tournament locally? all of the above?
but needless to say, due to lack of practice, i can only guarantee to be able to solve that thing within the hour
yes, there are "formulas" to solve it
