Rubik’s Cubes are hard enough to solve without any pressure, but an Australian teenager has been crowned the 2013 Rubik’s Cube World Champion after getting the best times in more than 15 events.

Feliks Zemdegs (17) scored the fastest average time of 8.18 seconds for solving the classic 3×3 cube, with his fastest time coming in at 7.36 seconds.

Zemdegs also won the 4×4 event, and the one-handed 3×3 competition.

Zemdegs even beat the world record holder, Mats Valk of the Netherlands, who has a time of 5.55 seconds, but averaged a time of 8.65 seconds in the tournament.

Other events on the day included solving the cube blindfolded, along with an event that only allows solving with your feet.
