A robot designed by a German engineer has set a new world record for completing a Rubik’s Cube, Guinness World Records has confirmed.

He solved a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube in the blazing time of 4.76 seconds — around the same time it takes a Ford Mustang GT350 to accelerate to 60 kilometres an hour.

The Fridrich Method requires first solving the top two layers of the three-tiered Rubik’s Cube, selecting the face with the central white square as the roof.

Pop star Justin Bieber has famously solved the Rubik’s Cube in under 2 minutes — which seemed fast to us! But apparently the robot could solve 120 puzzles in that time.
