A German YouTuber solved a Rubik’s Cube in freefall — cracking the puzzle in a mind-boggling 23.333 seconds while hurtling toward Earth to shatter the Guinness World Record.
Tom Kopke set the record for the fastest time to solve a rotating puzzle cube during a skydive, beating the previous mark while most people can barely solve one on solid ground.
The 23-year-old medical student accomplished the impressive feat in February, while falling 100 mph in Mossel Bay, South Africa.
