Boy, 7, solves Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes -- while blindfolded

Jan. 26 (UPI) -- An 8-year-old Rubik's cube whiz in Brazil was filmed solving a puzzle in 1 minute, 44 seconds -- while blindfolded.

Chan Hong Lik, who previously made headlines when he solved a Rubik's cube in 8.72 seconds at the age of 7, was competing in the Campeonato de Cubo Mágico Porto Alegre Open late last year when he made a blindfolded attempt.

The boy finished the puzzle in 1 minute, 44 seconds.

The budding Rubik's cube master might soon face some heavy competition -- his sister, Hong Yan Chan, solved a Rubik's cube in 47 seconds at a competition last year, when she was only 3 years old.
