SALT LAKE CITY — A 21-year-old has accomplished in about three seconds what many of us have tried for hours to do, without success.

Speedster Max Park set a new record for time spent solving a Rubik's Cube, Guinness World Records said on Wednesday.

Total time: 3.13 seconds

Park, who already holds multiple cube-solving records, managed to conquer a 3.47-second record that stood for four years and seemed unbeatable.

At an event Long Beach, California, Park seems to immediately know what he had accomplished.

And so did the crowd of spectators.

There is an infectious enthusiasm among the kids at the event. They're jumping and cheering with mouths wide open.

Max Park's father, Schwan Park, explains his son got into his "cubing career" as a way to help develop his fine motor skills as a child with autism.

Max Park was also featured in a Netflix documentary "The Speed Cubers."
