HAVE YOU EVER solved a Rubik’s Cube?

The satisfaction is immense.

So, imagine doing it in just 5.25 seconds?

Teenager, Collin Burns, did just that over the weekend at an official World Cube Association competition.

He shaved 0.3 seconds off the official 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube record, previously held by Mats Valk from the Netherlands, Mashable reports.

Warning: Excited teenagers can be very loud. Adjust your volume accordingly!
