One of the two hopefuls is 18-year-old Chris Mills, who has become one of the UK’s top speedcubers – the name given to those who can solve the Rubik’s Cube at lightning speed.

Now two British teenagers are set to take part in the final of the Rubik’s Cube world cup, which takes place virtually this week. Four decades on, the brightly coloured 3D puzzle is gaining cult status once more, this time among a younger generation, who are sharing videos of themselves solving it on social media – and even competing in “speedcubing” events. When Ernő Rubik invented the Rubik’s Cube 40 years ago, he had no idea it would become a household name.
