A teenager from the US, Lucas Etter, breaks the world record for the completion of a traditional Rubik's Cube at an event in Clarksville, Maryland, on Sunday, finishing the puzzle in an amazing 4.9 seconds. The feat is the first time the 5 second threshold has been broken with the previous record standing at 5.25 seconds.
