George Scholey hopes to achieve the Guinness World Record for most rotating puzzle cubes solved while running a marathon, currently standing at 420.
A 22-year-old hopes to beat a Rubik’s Cube Guinness World Record at the TCS London Marathon to celebrate 50 years of the puzzle’s existence.
He said that as this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Rubik’s Cube, he wanted to do something meaningful to celebrate the milestone, as well as raise money for a charity “close to my heart” – St John Ambulance.“I wanted to help a familiar charity, and one close to my heart,” the professional Rubik’s Cube solver told the PA news agency.
“I’ve tried to get to this level of fitness to allow for any discrepancies or logistical issues that could arise on the day and am going to run the marathon a bit slower – a four-hour time – and just solve the cubes alongside running.” He thanked the efforts of his friends and family, which will allow him to focus on his attempt and “have a really nice day” on April 21.
