<h5>What is the history of the Rubik’s cube?</h5><p>In 1974, a young architect named Ernő Rubik from Hungary wanted to teach his students about three-dimensional (3D) movements. He used blocks made of wood and paper, tied together with rubber bands, glue, and paper clips to do so. Eventually, he created the "Bvös kocka," or Magic Cube.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/rubik-s-cube-world-record-broken%2FErno%20Rubik%201.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=3daed65d-cb78-4750-b9d8-0b44c7db563a"><figcaption>Ernő Rubik, the creator of the Rubik’s cube.

It's so popular that solving it quickly has become a competitive sport called speedcubing.</p><p>Recently, the world record for solving the Rubik’s cube in the quickest time has been broken.</p><h5>Who broke the world record?</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <iframe width="100%" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gh8HX4itF_w" title="Fastest Rubik's cube 3x3 WR (3.13) sec WORLD RECORD" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><figcaption>The moment Max Park broke the world record.

He solved the Rubik’s Cube in only 3.13 seconds, beating the previous record set by Yusheng Du from China in 2018.</p><p>When Ernő Rubik first created the cube, it took him a whole month to solve it. But now, young people like Max are breaking world records and solving the puzzle in the blink of an eye!</p><h5>What do we know about Max Park?</h5><p>Max Park was born in California, USA. When he was two years old, doctors diagnosed him with autism. They said he might need help for his whole life. Because of his autism, Max found simple tasks like opening a water bottle difficult.</p><p>To improve his hand movements, Max's mom taught him how to solve a Rubik's cube, which he found interesting. He practised and started competing in Rubik's cube contests. Participating in these contests also helped him learn social skills like waiting for his turn and talking to officials.</p><p>Since then, he has made great progress and now holds many speedcubing records (wow!).</p><h5>What did we learn from this article?</h5><p>Max Park didn't let his autism stop him. He worked hard, practised a lot, and now he's breaking records! This shows that no matter how different you are or what challenges you face, you can work hard and do amazing stuff.</p><p>A lot of people were really happy when Max broke the world record in the tournament. This teaches us that we should cheer for and support others and celebrate their achievements. It helps make our society a better and happier place to live.</p>
