Extraordinary World Records That Prove The Human Body And Mind Is Capable Of Anything

Solving a Rubik's Cube in 4.59 seconds
You probably owned a Rubik's Cube at some point in your life. And you've probably never solved one, no matter how long you lasted before hurling the darn thing across the room. Maybe you even resorted to cheating and peeled the little colored stickers off and replaced them to make it look like you did it.That last technique is probably frowned on in the world of "speedcubers," and besides, it would take way too long. These people are, to put it nicely, ridiculous. They come up with insanely complicated techniques that they are constantly improving to solve cubes faster and faster.But it would be no fun just being awesome at this in their rooms at home, so speedcubers get together for competitions. And according to Mashable, it was in October 2017 at one of these events that the new world record was set. Twenty-three-year-old South Korean SeungBeom Cho managed to solve the cube in 4.59 seconds. It was so fast that the people around him in the video take a few seconds to realize what happened. When they do, the room goes absolutely crazy for him.You would think people can't get faster at this, but the record keeps falling. Take a moment to feel bad for poor Patrick Ponce. SB Nation says he managed to solve the Rubik's Cube in just 4.69 seconds but only held the world record for a month before Cho came along and bested him.
