He started from the very beginning, mastering the four steps necessary to solving a rotating puzzle. Now studying English at Queen Mary University, Mile End, the champion discovered the world of cubing when he was around 13 years old thanks to another hobby: magic tricks.Īt first, George asked his dad for two rotating puzzles to learn a trick that involved a Rubik’s cube. George’s latest record-breaking achievement follows another staggering solve session for the most rotating puzzle cubes solved on a skateboard.įor this record, George had to beat a minimum of 300 solves but he skated way past that requirement, and decided to continue on with the attempt until he reached a huge 500 solves. I’m just happy to have broken the record by quite a lot." - George Scholey "In the end, I think I did the best that I could. I also took breaks, and it’s an attempt over 24 hours." "Toward the end of the night I saw I was getting closer to 7,000, and I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t get that result. Despite seemingly putting the record beyond contention, George was slightly annoyed with the result! Instead of taking this as an opportunity for a well-deserved rest, George continued until the timer ran out, amassing over 1,000 more solves. Overcoming tech issues, mental blocks and fatigue, George powered through and streaked past 5,849 solves with four hours still remaining on the clock. Thankfully, all technical issues were resolved and didn’t jeopardize the attempt. Technology didn’t help: around midnight, an unexpected pop-up on the laptop George was using to log in his solves risked slowing down the final count. "That was quite the challenging part, because by that point I had no idea how it was going to go." But then I was like: it's only 12 hours." They were celebrating, saying ‘you’re on mark to break the record’. "I felt pretty drained and everyone else was so excited. "The hardest part of the record was hitting the 12 hours mark," he commented about the attempt. George kicked off by solving 327 rotating puzzles in the first hour alone.īy the eighth hour of the attempt, he had solved over 3,500 cubes. Roughly averaging an unbelievable 12 seconds per cube, according to George’s team, his swift pace meant that within a few hours he was on track to beat the previous record. To surpass this record, George had to shave seconds off of each cube solve.
The previous record was 5,800 cubes achieved in 2013 by Eric Limeback (Canada), whose solve time averaged 14.89 seconds.
