There, competitors took up to a minute to solve the cube. But by 2009, the fastest speedsolvers (many of them too young to drive) were unscrambling cubes in a little over 10 seconds. And today, the hundred best speedcubers on earth all average below 7.7 seconds per solve, with the top 10 all coming in at under 6.5.

It’s early in Sydney, where he’s speaking to me over video chat from his apartment. Over his shoulder, I can see his unmade bed. On it: a big, squishy, Rubik’s Cube novelty pillow. He looks like he hasn’t been awake for more than 20 minutes. No matter: It takes him less than seven seconds to transfigure the cube in his hands from scrambled to solved. Zemdegs holds numerous cubing records, but he is best known as the most consistently swift solver of the 3 by 3: the canonical three-layered, Mondrian-colored cube. (The toy you're probably picturing is just one of many mechanical riddles belonging to the genus of so-called twisty puzzles.) Last month, at a speedcubing competition in Brisbane, he set a new world record of 5.69 seconds in the Average of 5 event, wherein contestants each solve five cubes that have been scrambled according to computer-generated instructions. When they're finished, competitors eliminate their fastest and slowest times and calculate the mean of the remaining three. Zemdegs’ 5.69-second average was an 0.11-second improvement over his previous best, which was also a world record. “Since 2010, I’ve broken the Average-of-5 record probably 10 times,” he says.

Certain types of genes influence how much intellectual power you have. Your child's genetic influences affect their motivation, confidence, and other traits.
The term genius refers to someone with extraordinary intellectual or creative power. Psychologists in the early 1900s were the first to measure and define genius in terms of a person's intelligence quotient (IQ). The first genius IQ score was around 140. That’s about one in every 250 people. But one leading researcher in the 1940s suggested that a genius should have an IQ over 180. That’s about one in every 2 million people. There is no one definition of genius. But many doctors study highly intelligent, or gifted, children to understand genius better. They define genius as a wealth of originality, creativity, and the ability to imagine or think in new ways and areas. Could your child have the behaviors and skills of above-average intelligence or genius? Here are some of the traits of extremely high intelligence to watch for.
