Only people with eagle eyes can solve a new Rubik’s cube brainteaser in under 30 seconds
The Rubik’s Cube is a classic mind game for all ages, challenging players to align a single color on each side.
The popular 3D puzzle has been turned into a brainteaser that shows dozens of cubes that look identical, but there’s a strange one in the mix.
The goal is to find the cube that doesn’t match within 30 seconds, but only those with eagle eyes can see it.

The new brainteaser was created by online gaming experts from Mr.Q who said the puzzle “will leave even the most attentive viewers scratching their heads in fear.”
“It takes the average person 30 seconds to find a single Rubik’s cube, and as many as one in three admit to a complete failure to find the colorful cube,” the company said.
The Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian design teacher Erno Rubik and first called the Magic Cube, which was later renamed in 1980 by Ideal toy and novelty company.
The game hit shelves worldwide shortly afterwards and sold a hundred million copies within two years, making it the most popular puzzle in history.
The 27 small cubes, called ‘cubies’, each have one of six colors and together formed a square.
The world record for solving the puzzle is 3.13 seconds.
California native Max Park set the record in 2023, breaking the previous top speed of 3.47 seconds.
Park, who was diagnosed with moderate to severe autism as a child, has won more than 400 events against fellow “cubers.”
But Park is no match for a robot that solved a Rubik’s cube in just 0.305 seconds.

The technology was developed this year by a team of engineers at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
The robot has a series of motors that work in combination with each other to move the cube very quickly.
However, during the testing process, the team encountered an unexpected problem: the cube had difficulty keeping up with the robot’s speed.
During the first official record attempt, the puzzle got stuck.
Fortunately, with some refinement, the team was able to solve the problem and solve it a second time.
