For most people, solving a Rubik’s Cube can take several minutes, but for Xuanyi Geng, it took just 3.05 seconds. The Chinese speedcuber made history on April 13, 2025, at the Shenyang Spring 2025 competition in Shenyang, China, when he completed a 3×3×3 Rubik’s Cube solve in 3.05 seconds.
The World Cube Association recorded the performance as a world record for the 3×3×3 single, however, Geng’s mark has since been broken, but his solve remains part of the official history of the event.
