Six-year-old breaks Rubik's Cube women's world record in 4.27 seconds
Lian Yunzhi, six, from Sichuan province set a women's world record by solving the Rubik's Cube in 4.27 seconds.
Lian broke the world record twice in three days at certified competitions. Lian trained about two to three hours daily over the past year and mastered more than 1,300 solving algorithms.
Lian's parents took her to Shanghai to train with professional coaches, where her results improved significantly. Lian is now the only female cuber to achieve an average time under 4.5 seconds.
For comparison, a nine-year-old Polish boy, Teodor Zajder, holds the overall men's record of just 2.76 seconds.
