A 6-year-old girl in China has set a new women’s record for solving Rubik’s Cubes. Recent videos from state TV show Lian Yunzhi setting a record at a certified competition in Wuhan, China. Days later, she broke that record with an average pace of 4.27 seconds per cube. She’s the only female “speed cuber” to break the 4.5-second mark. Lian reportedly picked up the puzzle at the age of 4 and trains roughly two to three hours each day. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
