New Rubiks Cube World Record, Under 3 seconds

For decades, the world’s best speedcubers chased a goal that most people thought no human could ever truly reach. The three-second barrier on the classic Rubik’s Cube was treated like an invisible wall, whispered about in practice rooms and passionately pursued in tournaments held all across the globe, yet it had never once been broken on an official competition stage. Then a nine-year-old boy from Gdansk, Poland named Teodor Zajder stepped up to a table at a local speedcubing event and solved the cube in just 2.76 seconds, becoming the very first person in history to crack through that legendary barrier under official rules. The World Cube Association and Guinness World Records both confirmed the jaw-dropping result, and the entire global speedcubing community erupted in celebration almost the very moment the news spread online.

What makes this record even more stunning is the remarkable story of how it actually happened in real time. Zajder’s four other attempts in the same round each came in between five and six seconds, meaning that one single lightning-fast solve stands far and away above everything else he did that very same day. Experts in the sport say a record like this could easily take years to beat, since pulling it off requires not only blazing finger speed but also an almost perfectly favorable starting scramble coming together at precisely the right moment. Teodor is no stranger to the record books either, having already set a world record in a smaller cube category back when he was just seven years old. Young competitors like him are completely reshaping what the sport looks like and proving to the entire world that the limits people once believed were permanent are simply out there waiting to be shattered.
