The current world record for solving a Rubik's cube is 3.47 seconds. Could it be faster? WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez explores the mind-boggling math and finger-twisting world of speed cubing. Read more on this story from Robbie on WIRED.com: www.wired.com/story/how-to-so...
Here are some links for some of the information and cubers we consulted:

I realzed that him just learning the cube and getting under a minute in a few weeks probably means that method just takes a long time to complete, cause my best time was around 30 seconds (and I had a lucky scramble) but my average stays around 45, so while a good starting method its very slow.

  • I learned to solve Rubik's Cube more than 15 years ago with a really old "rusty" cube. I was so hyped that I solved it every day a few times and it took me less than a week to memorize the moves. A few years ago I bought a faster cube but still only able to solve it in a few minutes. I just ordered a "speed cube" and will learn the speed cube method to be able to solve it under a minute or half. Can't wait for it.

At Tymon's prime (probably now), Max, Leo, Luke, and a few others are still on his heels. Heck, he doesn't even have the WR average anymore.

  • So what i am mostly impressed by. The way i solve a cube i got it under 2 min as my fastest speed. which i myself am quite proud of. But his guy makes it look super casual and feels like its slow but he does it in 1.40 which is like vastly under my time. I think my big thing is i need to learn to use both hands. CAuse atm i am mostly using my right hand to turn the majority of the cube and i am probably much faster if i start using my left side aswel. Edit: So i tried that and it did help i managed to cut down it down to 1.44 seconds and i did make a few mistakes and i started out quite slow so there is still way more time save in there. Also my brain is very slow i always still need to search for the pieces i need expecially my start f2l takes ages because i need to look for the pieces. I dont really have a quickfinder like you have with F layer then 2nd Layer. But f2l is even tho i need to search a milion times faster xD Edit 2: I am also still doing cross, orient cross, do corners, orient corners for top layer. And the orient corners costs usually 24 and with bad luck 48 rotations which takes AGES!!

  • I learned to solve a cube in one day as a 16 year old. I still remember how to do one to this day. It's really not that hard. IIRC there's only 5 moves you need to know. The first layer requires no knowledge, you can just figure it out, the second layer requires 1 (albeit it's not as effective as knowing both), the last layer you need to learn: how to make a cross, how to match the middles, how to match the corners, and then putting the corners up right. You can do a 2/3rd of the cube with only knowing 1 algorithm! It's not very hard once you learn.

  • 1 month ago I started “cubing”. I watched the other wired video with a tutorial. Took me a day (few hours) to solve it using that video. The following day (with a few notes written down that I would peek over at for reference,) I was able to solve it in roughly 4 min. In The days following, my notes (written on a regular sheet of paper) turned into a post-it note. 2-3 days of referring to that, I was finally able to memorize the algorithm. And now? Now my average is 1:22 and my best time was 57 seconds. Which is embarrassing compared to these speed cubers, but I am still very excited about it 😅
