Six-year-old sets new women's world record for solving a Rubik's Cube
Lian Yunzhi set a new women's world record for solving a Rubik's Cube at the age of six.
A six-year-old competitor, Lian Yunzhi, has broken the women's world record for solving a Rubik's Cube, according to footage shared by France 24.
The record-breaking solve was captured on video and highlighted Yunzhi's speed and precision with the classic puzzle cube, a feat that stands out given her young age.
A notable achievement
Rubik's Cube speedsolving is a competitive discipline in which participants are timed on how quickly they can restore a scrambled cube to its original configuration, with dedicated women's and youth categories tracked separately from the open record.
Details of Yunzhi's exact time and the competition or setting in which the record was set were not included in the available report. France 24 published video of the solve as part of its coverage.
The achievement adds to a growing list of young competitors making their mark in speedcubing, a hobby that has seen increased popularity in recent years among children and adults alike.
