20-year-old UK lad breaks world record by solving 6,931 Rubik’s Cubes in 24 hours

Scholey, who is considered one of the best speedcubers in the world, achieved this feat by tirelessly solving the rotating cubes from 8 am on November 9 to 8 am on November 10, 2022. He recorded this attempt through a live-streamed video which is now posted on his YouTube account in parts.

Commenting on his live stream recording, a YouTube user wrote: “CONGRATULATIONS!!! this was amazing to watch, the set-up was also so professional haha. this record is probably one of the hardest records I have ever seen before, i really admire your endurance and strength.”

Talking about how physically and mentally challenging the record-breaking attempt was, Scholey said: “The hardest part of the record was hitting the 12 hours mark. I felt pretty drained and everyone else was so excited. They were celebrating, saying ‘you’re on mark to break the record’. But then I was like: it’s only 12 hours.” He also added, “In the end, I think I did the best that I could. I’m just happy to have broken the record by quite a lot.”
