Southern California resident smashes Rubik's Cube world record with 3.13-second solve

Max Park spent about 10 seconds studying the jumbled Rubik's Cube in front of him at the Pride in Long Beach World Cube Assn. Cracking it took less than a third of that time. With a deep breath, steady hands and just 3.13 seconds, the 21-year-old solved the colorful mind game with 43 quintillion possible combinations, aligning each side perfectly by color. In a video capturing the moment, Park slams his hands down to stop the clock, claps and yells "Yes!" -- knowing he had just broke the world record for fastest solve of a single 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube. A watching crowd went wild, celebrating the achievement with him.
