Matt meets Feliks Zemdegs: Rubik's Cube World Champion

I was in Melbourne in April 2017 and so I dropped by to have a chat with Feliks Zemdegs: the perpetual Rubik's Cube World Champion.

We talk about his recent 4.73 second record-breaking solve, how solving other types of Rubiks puzzles are different (Megaminx, 4×4, 5×5 etc) and how fast he thinks the world records can get.

If you want to learn speed cubing: Feliks has a website with tutorial videos!

None yet. Let me know if you spot anything (other than records which have since been broken and so the ones mentioned in the video are no longer true).
