Jul 26, 2006 5:27 PM
The current world record for solving a Rubik's Cube is held by Leyan Lo, who boasts a time of 11.13 seconds.
Cube Guru Tyson Mao charmed America with his appearance on 2005's Beauty and the Geek 2.
Shotaro "Macky" Makisumi is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records for his mind-bending cubing skills.
The Rubik's Cube, a pop-culture icon from the 1980's, is back: sparking one of the most compelling subcultures to emerge in the new millennium.
In the spirit of the popular documentaries Murderball and Word Play, 2007's CubeFreak will change the way you think about the Rubik's Cube, genius, and your own potential.

Rubik's Cube: 2006 US Nationals Tournament
Stay tuned for updates from the 2006 US Nationals Tournament, held 4-6 August at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. FYI, Chris Hardwick just set a world record for 5x5x5 blindfolded at 28 minutes 28.22 seconds. BLINDFOLDED!!!
Erika is there with new promotional merchandise: vinyl bumper stickers, trading cards, and two new tee shirt designs. (If you're intersted in supporting the cause and sporting the latest CubeFreak design, contact us at info@cubefreak.com ).
Mark is competing in the tournament--looking to move up through the ranks on his quest to become a sub-50 cuber.
Pasz is in LA putting the final touches on a rough cut--looks like we're pushing two hours at this point (1:56:16:06, to be exact), but we'll be massaging the story over the next few days to bring it to a more marketable time. There's just too much great stuff; it's hard to cut "gold."
Keep stopping back to www.myspace.com/cubefreak and www.cubefreak.com for updates: a new trailer should be coming in the next week or so. And tell your friends--the Rubik's Cube is back for the 21st century and CubeFreak gives you access to the top names: Macky, Leyan, Tyson, Jessica, Chris, Frank, Brent, Lars, Ron, Jon, Andy, Sunil, Dan, and Jasmine.
