Man Solves RUBIK'S CUBE In 11.13 Seconds

(From The Associated Press -- By Erin Lubin)

A 20-year-old CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (CALTECH) student set a new world's record Saturday for solving the popular RUBIK'S CUBE puzzle, turning the tiled brain-twister from scrambled to solved in 11.13 seconds.

LEYAN LO is part of Caltech's RUBIK'S CUBE CLUB, a brainy clutch of students that hosted the competition at the EXPLORATORIUM MUSEUM in San Francisco.

Lo's record-setting time came early in the day, among his first five tries in the preliminary rounds.

The record-setting solve caught competitors and Lo himself by surprise.
