Pennsylvania high school student Collin Burns broke the Rubik's Cube world record on Saturday when he solved the puzzle in 5.25 seconds. Burns beat Dutch speedsolver Mats Valk's 2013 record by mere .3 seconds.
" 0.3 seconds might not seem like a remarkable amount of time, but when you consider that there are 43 quintillion possible positions for a Rubik's Cube to be in the ability that someone is able to complete one anywhere near that fast is simply mind blowing," Rubik's blog noted.
Collin Burns did this at WCA (World Cubing Association) competition in Pennsylvania. His previous best was 5.93 seconds.
