Default 15-year-old smashes world record for solving Rubik's Cube






Bit disappointed with new-look thin Will and his reaction towards the end

I started one of these about 20 years ago and still haven't finished it.

Only way I can do them is to peel off the bits and stick them back on I can always do one or 2 sides pretty quickly though, but after that nope...

There are algorithms you can learn so that it always works. Obviously this boy knows some advance next level **** (you can fix every cube in 21 moves or less I think). My best is about 40 seconds-ish. I'd imagine I've forgot most of the algorithms now though
