Xuanyi Geng, a speedcuber from China, has set a new world record for solving a 3x3x3 rotating puzzle cube with an average time of 3.71 seconds at the Deqing Small & Special 2026 event held in Huzhou, Zhejiang, China, on April 26, 2026. During this competition, Geng's recorded times were 3.79 seconds, 4.33 seconds, 3.61 seconds, 3.74 seconds, and an impressive 2.80 seconds. According to the World Cube Association (WCA) rules, the fastest and slowest times were excluded from the average calculation. This new record surpasses Geng's previous world record of 3.84 seconds, which he set earlier this year at the Beijing Winter 2026 event on January 11, 2026. Geng's latest achievement reflects his exceptional skill and the rapid evolution of speedcubing as a competitive sport.
