We did it!!! 100 cubes in 4h 45min – Guinness World Record

Thank you all so much! It is official: Guinness World Record! 100 cubes in the London Marathon. Unbelievable. Everything worked brilliantly. Except poor Julie had to stop briefly because of a cramp and I had to run on my own. But she made it to the finish line half an hour later. Thank you so […]

Julie Burong to the rescue!

Julie Burong, an english mum living in Australia, is going to support me in the Rubik’s Run. She was the first one who promised to help straight away.

I was asking simple questions […]

Minimum amount of cubes required for official Guinness World Record

After weeks of trying to get in touch with Guinness World Records they finally replied: “Your attempt would actually be the first at this record and, as such, there is no previous record to beat. However, our research team concluded that 50 would be the required minimum acceptable for any first attempt. Thus, the solving […]
