How fast can you solve a Rubik's Cube?
Wanna feel slow? Just got word that 15 year old Sergey Ryabko of Russia is now the European Rubik’s European Champion. He beat out the Netherlands’ Erik Akkersdijk (10.38) and Germany’s relatively slow (just kidding!) Cornelius Dieckmann (10.78 seconds!). The championship was held in Budapest, Hungary with more than 250 cubers from 26 different countries. The World Record is still held by Scotland’s Breandan Vallance (8.31 seconds!!)

They also have one handed Rubik Cube winners (Michal Pleskovitz of Poland) and blindfolded specialists (Rafal Guzewicz of Poland). Who knew?!
I still have my old Rubik’s Cube..and I’m still working on it!
Congrats!
For a new generation, the Rubik Cube will be electronic this holiday season. Rather than turning the cube, you’ll touch the grid to change the colors. Do you think this will make it easier? I doubt it–but you probably will think twice before you throw this one across the room in frustration! The maker,
