A 22-year-old man from China has smashed the world record for the fastest time to solve three rotating puzzle cubes while juggling. Li Zhihao took just three minutes and 16 seconds to complete the challenge, shaving 13 seconds off his previous record.
The record-breaking attempt took place on the set of Lo Show dei Record, a televised talent show in Italy. Zhihao was juggling three Rubik’s Cubes while solving them simultaneously. He used a variety of techniques, including the “cascade” and the “shower,” to keep the cubes in the air and his mind focused on the puzzles.
Zhihao is a seasoned speedcuber and juggler. He has been practicing both skills since he was a child. He is also a member of the Chinese National Team for Speedcubing.
The previous world record for solving three rotating puzzle cubes while juggling was held by Angel Alvarado from Colombia. Alvarado achieved the feat in 4 minutes and 31 seconds in May 2022.
Zhihao’s record-breaking performance has been met with praise from the speedcubing community. Many people have called it an “incredible” achievement.
“This is an amazing feat,” said Yusheng Du, the current world record holder for solving a single Rubik’s Cube. “Li Zhihao is a true master of both speedcubing and juggling.”
Zhihao’s record is likely to stand for some time. It is a very difficult challenge to combine two such demanding skills. However, Zhihao has shown that it is possible to achieve great things with hard work and dedication.
In an interview, Zhihao said that he was “very happy” to have broken the record. He also said that he was “excited to see what the future holds” for him in speedcubing and juggling.
Zhihao’s achievement is a testament to the human capacity for learning and mastery. It is also a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
