Those prominent in the online community such as Ron van Bruchem, Tyson Mao, Chris Hardwick, and Ton Dennenbroek eventually wanted to create a place where cubers from around the world can meet and compete. With these websites facilitating the renewed popularity of the cube, it ushered in a new generation of cubers, creating a growing international community of people dedicated to the sport of speedsolving. The Rubik's Cube waned in popularity after 1983, but with the advent of the Internet, sites began to surface to discuss the cube. Other notable attendees include Jessica Fridrich and Lars Petrus, both people who later became influential in the development of solving methods and the speedcubing community. Nineteen people competed in the event, and the American Minh Thai won with a single solve time of 22.95 seconds, which was, at the time, the fastest Rubik's Cube solve ever recorded in competition.
On June 5, 1982, the first world championship was held in Budapest, Hungary.
In 1979, Ernő Rubik partnered with Ideal Toy Company to garner widespread international interest in the cube, which soon developed into a global trend. The Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian professor of architecture Ernő Rubik (born 13 July 1944). The 3x3x3 world record for a trimmed average of five solves is 4.69 seconds, set by Yiheng Wang, a 9 year old cubing prodigy from China. Īs of March 2023, the 3x3x3 world record single in competition is 3.47 seconds, set by Yusheng Du in the Wuhu Open 2018. The WCA currently recognizes 17 speedcubing events: the cubic puzzles from the 2x2–7x7, the Pyraminx, Megaminx, Skewb, Square-1, and Rubik's Clock, as well as the 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5 Blindfolded, 3x3 One-handed, 3x3 Fewest Moves, and 3x3 Multi-blind.

For most puzzles, solving involves performing a series of moves, known as algorithms, that alters a scrambled puzzle into a solved state, in which every face of the puzzle is a single, solid color.Ĭompetitive speedcubing is mainly regulated by the World Cube Association (WCA). A person who practices solving twisty puzzles competitively is known as a speedcuber (when solved specifically focusing on speed), or a cuber. Speedcubing (also known as speedsolving, or cubing) is a competitive sport involving solving a variety of combination puzzles, the most famous being the 3x3x3 puzzle or Rubik's Cube, as quickly as possible.
