Since the invention of the Rubik's Cube in the year 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor Erno Rubik, the rotating puzzle cube has captivated many minds. It is no wonder that there are some records also made related to this iconic puzzle. A Chinese by the name Li Zhihao has broken the world record for the fastest time to solve three rotating puzzle cubes while juggling them. According to Guinness World Records (GWR), It took  22-year-old Zhihao just three minutes and 16 seconds to smash his previous record by 13 seconds.

The speedcuber's record attempt took place on the set of GWRs televised talent show, Lo Show dei Record.

When Zhihao first broke the record in July 2022, with a time of 3 minute 29 seconds, he became the first person to do it in under four minutes.

Before Zhihao, the record belonged to Angel Alvarado (Colombia), who achieved the feat in 2021 with a time of 4 min 52 seconds, and then broke it again in May 2022 with a time of 4 minute 31 seconds, the GWR said on its website.

An accomplished speedcuber, Zhihao can solve cubes not only while juggling, but also upside down, underwater, and in groups.

Zhihao is now the third successive person to break the record twice in a row. Given how fast he is compared to everyone else so far, he may go on to become the first person to break it three times in a row, said the records keeping company.

Performing the puzzle cube juggle requires immense mental and physical skill. In addition to keeping track of three simultaneous cube solves, the challenger must maintain a perfect juggling rhythm because no ‘multiplexing’ is allowed. This means that if two cubes are caught in the same hand at the same time, the attempt is ended, GWR further said.
