Schwan Park, father of speed cuber Max Park, 21, tells Fox News Digital the story of his son's record-breaking achievement with Rubik's Cube: "We always knew he was good," he said. A young man from Cerritos, California, has beaten the world record for the fastest time to solve a Rubik's Cube. Park has been competing in Rubik's competitions since he was 10 years old -- and has defied the odds as a fierce competitor who also has severe autism. Park's father, Schwan Park, commended his son's record-breaking accomplishment and shared the young man's story with Fox News Digital. "We didn't realize how good he was," Park's father said, referencing the earlier years.

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.
