SINGAPORE: By the time you finish reading this sentence, Max Park would have solved a Rubik's Cube.
According to the Guinness World Records, the 21-year-old American solved the cube in 3.13 seconds, shaving 0.34 seconds off the previous record set by China’s Yusheng Du in 2018."The atmosphere was electric. Everybody knew that he broke the record, and I think partially everybody was in shock." Park’s father told the Guinness World Records in an interview posted on Thursday.
Park's father added that the 3x3x3 record was"like the creme de la creme" of cubing, adding that when the record gets broken,"the whole cubing community knows".Park is diagnosed with autism and according to his parents, cubing has been"a good therapy" for him. Park's parents began to understand the benefits of using cubing as a kind of therapy, and they used competitions as a means of teaching him social cues such as pointing, standing in line and waiting his turn, reported The Guardian.Park, who is an official ambassador for Rubik's, holds"nearly all" of the speedcubing records, according to the Guinness World Records.
