🧩 פחות משלוש שניות: ילד בן 9 שובר את שיא העולם בפתרון קוביה הונגרית

For years, solving a Rubik's Cube in under 3 seconds seemed almost impossible, a speed barrier that no one could break. That changed in February 2026 at a cubing competition called GLS Big Cubes in Gdańsk, Poland, when a 9-year-old boy named Teodor Zajder made history. On his fourth attempt out of five, Teodor solved a standard 3x3 Rubik's Cube in an astonishing 2.76 seconds, becoming the first person ever officially recorded solving one in under three seconds. The record was verified by the World Cube Association, the official organization that checks and confirms speedcubing world records. The previous record, 3.05 seconds, had been set about a year earlier in China. What makes Teodor's solve even more impressive is that he completed it in only 29 moves, meaning he did not just move his hands incredibly fast, he also found one of the shortest possible paths to solving the puzzle. Speedcubing at this level takes more than fast fingers. Competitors have to instantly recognize color patterns and plan their moves in a split second, often before their hands even start turning the cube. The Rubik's Cube itself was invented back in 1974 by Hungarian designer Ernő Rubik, and more than 450 million cubes have been sold worldwide since then, making it one of the best-selling toys in history. Teodor's world record proves that with enough practice and passion, even a young kid can achieve something no adult ever has.
