Lim Hung picked up his first Rubik’s Cube in April 2016 and managed to solve it within two weeks after getting some tips on YouTube. That marked the start of the 11-year-old’s interest and achievements in the world of speedcubing.

Today, he is ranked first in Asia for speedcubing (the 3x3x3 cube) with feet, with an average time of 24.86 seconds.
