14-year-old solves Rubik's Cube in 4.90 seconds
No, that is not a misprint. Four point nine oh seconds. It takes longer than that to tie your shoe or change a lightbulb, as Don Cheadle told us. But Lucas Etter, all of fourteen years of age, solved a Rubik's Cube (under official conditions) in 4.90 seconds to set a new world record:
The crazy thing is not how fast Eller is but how much cube solving times have dropped in the last decade. I had a friend at a summer camp around the turn of the millenium who was consistently able to solve Rubik's Cubes in about a minute. That was impressive. It's crazy that people are doing it in five stinkin' seconds or less. Crazy times, these waning days of 2015.
