A Rubik's Cube in 7 seconds: Auckland teen to represent NZ at world Champs

Brad Flahive Reporter from North Shore Times

Solving a Rubik's Cube over a whole day is a challenge beyond most of us - but for one Auckland teenager seven seconds is all the time he needs to align those tricky coloured tiles.

Wish him luck!
