Rubik’s cube world champion solves puzzle in seven seconds live on air – BBC News
A speed-cube champion has set a new world record for solving the most Rubik’s Cubes in 24 hours.
George Scholey from Northampton, England broke the record for solving the most rotating puzzle cubes in 24 hours by completing 6,931.
The student at Queen Mary University in London also set a record when he solved 500 puzzle cubes while riding a skateboard.
Now he’s shown BBC News how quickly he can solve one.

The Fifa 2026 World Cup kicks off this week.
Beginning Thursday, football – or soccer – matches, depending on your preference, will be played in the US, Mexico, and Canada, with a record 48 nations competing for the trophy.
However, the tournament has been beset by controversies over ticket prices, travel bans that affect fans and officials, and security concerns.
We answer questions from the audience about what to expect from this year’s World Cup, with BBC Sports football issues correspondent, Dale Johnson.
Both Sep Blatter and Michel Platini had their bans reduced – Blatter to six years and Platini to four. In terms of the Swiss court cases, they have both been acquitted – once in 2022 and then again when Swiss authorities prosecuted again and lost again in March 2025.

Keir Starmer says under-16s will be banned from social media by spring 2027.
“A full ban is the right choice… I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children,” Starmer said in a televised statement.
As he made the statement live in Downing Street he was watched on The BBC Breakfast sofa by seven parents whose children died while using social media.

Iran’s chief negotiator says there’s “no point” in continuing talks with the US after Israel launched a strike on Beirut.
It comes after US President Donald Trump said a deal would be signed on Sunday.
Israel says it struck a command centre run by the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, and adds that Hezbollah attacked Israel “unprovoked” – Lebanese officials say three people have been killed.

James Cunningham hadn’t slept. He’d been up all night “fighting for his life”.
The 27-year-old from Ware in Hertfordshire was trying to save a virtual empire from the brink of destruction – using a keyboard and mouse.
James says he “didn’t expect everything to go wrong”, recalling the explosive conflict that broke out in June 2025. “But it did.”
He’d spent thousands of hours – up to 16 a day – and roughly £6,000 playing EVE Online, a role-playing game played by tens of thousands of people around the world.

Yoooo props to him for saying how he learned; instead of the good ole, “I use linear algebra to solve it” although, learning the steps to when you need to use it is still a great memory talent. I’ve finally learned how to solo solve, and it took me 2 weeks to learn. Even with that it takes me an hour, So this is still an amazing accomplishment.
