The World’s Fastest Speedcubers Are Teens

Speedcubing is a competitive sport that involves solving cube puzzles as fast a possible. Waypoint visits a recent tournament that was attended by some of the fastest and most passionate speedcubers in the game.
Since the 1980’s, Speedcubing has captured the minds of mathematicians and puzzle enthusiasts. In recent years, competitive speedcubing has grown into an international craze, and the median age keeps dropping. While the world record holder is in his 20’s, most competitors are under the age of 18.

Yusheng Du just got a 3.47 to beat Feliks Zemdeg's 4.22. It's insane that an almost unknown cuber can beat a wr, just goes to show how scramble dependent the single world record really is.

It kinda sucks for world class people that had potential to beat the 4.22 for a 3.47 to happen which will be unbeatable for many years. Still, another lucky scramble will happen one day that will be used to beat the record.

I got under a minute pretty fast on the 3x3. Just watch tutorials on KZbin and try to memorize the algorithms. Use the letters first then try to do it without looking.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

You should be at least under 1 minute before you go to a competition. We don't want lots of clueless beginners tying up the solving stations with 5 minute plus solves! If someone takes over 2 minutes to solve a 3x3, they should be booted out of the competition and told not come back till they have improved. They may be required to submit video evidence that their solves are of sufficient standard to be allowed to register for another comp.

A lot of the currect record holders and cubers at the top, including Feliks Zemdegs, happen to be in their early 20s. These are the same "kids" who were just starting out 8-10 years ago, and they stuck with it long enough so now they're young adults who are still very competitive.

[@4jspa286]

As a cuber, they really aren't wrong about the comp nerves. Especially if you do bad you get mad or upset. Doing these competitions is really stressful

1:27 "I was shocked because that was a huge jump for a world record." Yusheng Du has entered the chat.

I can solve a rubiks cube but it takes a average of 1 min and 30secs

[@quinnd3726]

Mabel Martinez At least you spelled it right!

[@SupernovaC]

Mabel Martinez you’re still a cuber

[@killerex]

Why didn't Phil Yu get interviewed

[@wastefulxe4037]

[@Askar1]

3:53 I get this all the time Non cubers come up to me and say "can you teach me the solution?" I tell them that we use methods and you have to watch on youtube but then they call me cheaters lol

[@joeybro132]

My dream is to go to a competition but no-one round where I live cubes.

[@awolff3381]

I never solved one Rubik's Cube growing up 😔

[@CymrilTaran]

A Wolff I used to solve mine all the time -- real easy too; rotate the top row 45°, then rotate either outside column 90°, when the whole cube comes apart, reassemble it in the correct order. Works flawlessly!

[@GeometryDashProgam3r]

CymrilTaran if a cube breaks by trying to cornercut 45° then it's a fucking horrendous cube

[@ViperoK]

@@GeometryDashProgam3r for a speed cube thats bad but from a rubiks brand thats what i would expect.

[@GeometryDashProgam3r]

Godly Mango nah I've had a Rubik's brand and a Rubik's 2.0 and they're insanely right with no way to tension them

[@ViperoK]

@@GeometryDashProgam3r what do you mean by "insanely right?"

[@KathrinCubingOfficial]

Any cubers here? I'm a cuber and avg 22 seconds😉 Edit: 2y later.. I went from avg 22sec to 15sec on 3x3! ⬇ ⬇

[@ruthutot7197]

Is it okay if I solved it 35 secs??

[@mgplays5083]

Hehe I’m turning 12 and I can’t even do sub 3 minutes on 4x4

[@ToyotaCamry-ew4rw]

Mg Plays lol I’m 13 and my pb for 4x4 is 4min 59sec

[@SupernovaC]

Keep improving, my first 4x4 solve was 7 minutes! Now I got my PB to 56 seconds

[@SupernovaC]

I’m flexing or anything, I’m just saying that you can take the steps to get fast
