Singaporean Rubik’s Cube Genius Sets Yet Another World Record
Singapore has been home to many record-breakers over the years, but this one really takes the cake. A local expert in solving Rubik’s cube has broken yet another world record, and this time it’s by doing so underwater.
Feliks Zemdegs, the Aussie wonder boy, may have held the previous record of 10.64 seconds, but he certainly didn’t have the skill and courage to beat this new world champion. Singaporean cuber, Ng Jun Wei, has managed to solve the notoriously difficult puzzle in just 9.29 seconds while submerged in water, breaking the previous record by a measly 1.35 seconds.
Ng Jun Wei’s incredible achievement has made headlines around the world, with thousands flocking to witness the new world record holder in action. Crowds gathered around the swimming pool to gasp in awe as the Singaporean redefined the art of Rubik’s cube solving. In preparation for the record attempt, Ng spent countless hours training himself to solve the Rubik’s cube as quickly as possible, and not being able to breathe underwater only helped to focus his mind.
Speaking to reporters after the astounding feat, Ng said, “I’ve always loved a challenge, and solving a Rubik’s cube underwater just seemed like the logical next step. It was challenging, sure, but nothing that I couldn’t handle. I had a great time and I’m grateful for all the support from my fans.”
Ng’s amazing feat has put Singapore on the map once again, and the Singaporean government has already announced plans to invite him for a special ceremony. The Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, was quoted saying, “There’s no doubt that Ng Jun Wei is a national treasure, and his incredible achievement is an inspiration to us all. We’re grateful for his dedication and commitment in bringing glory to our great nation.”
It’s important to remember, however, that this isn’t the only world record that Singaporeans have brought home. In the past, we’ve had world records for things like the tallest bamboo structure and the largest tea party (seriously, look it up). Nevertheless, it doesn’t take away from Ng’s incredible achievement, and we can only hope that more Singaporeans will follow in his footsteps, solving puzzles while drowning in water.
In a world that’s already full of such incredible feats, Ng Jun Wei has shown us that there’s still room for creativity and innovation. Who knows what other world records Singaporeans can achieve in the future? Perhaps we’ll set a new record for jumping the highest on a pogo stick while juggling coconuts. Or maybe we’ll break the record for the longest marathon of sitting on a rocking chair. Whatever it is, we’re excited to see what Singaporeans come up with next. Congrats, Ng!
