Malaysian puzzler Lim Kai Yi has broken records over 100 times across more than 80 events, mastering a range of puzzles from the classic Rubik's Cube to the Pyraminx.<br /><br />Among his many feats, he holds the record for the fastest time to solve a rotating puzzle cube in the bridge position - completing it in just 27.84 seconds.<br /><br />"To put it in perspective, a bridge position is a yoga position where you have to bend your body... You have to support yourself using just one hand and you have to use the other hand to solve the puzzle or Rubik's Cube, essentially being a very difficult version of a one-handed Rubik's Cube solve," Lim said, explaining the record.<br /><br />Footage shot in Kuala Lumpur on Monday shows Kai Yi solving a Rubik’s Cube with one hand, tackling different types of puzzles, and proudly displaying numerous Guinness World Records certificates.<br /><br />His journey began in 2016, sparked by a fascination with geometric shapes.<br /><br />"I like these puzzles because I like the way they move, I like the way these puzzles are solved, and I like the intricacy of how you would solve puzzles using different algorithms," Kai Yi said. "I have broken this Guinness World Record titles 134 times from 82 events when I currently still hold 66 events."<br /><br />Currently, Kai Yi is preparing to reclaim his Guinness World Record for the fastest time to solve a 6-level Tower of Hanoi, a mathematical puzzle he has already conquered four times.<br /><br />"I used to be a kid who only knew how to solve a Rubik's Cube and I thought I was pretty average. But once I discovered Guinness World Records, I put my talent to use. I've broken records like I never imagined was possible. I never thought I would be in the Guinness Book of World Records,” Kai Yi explained.<br /><br />Alongside competing, he offers puzzle coaching both online and offline in Malaysia and China.<br /><br />Lim set the record for the fastest time to solve a rotating puzzle cube in the bridge position on 15 November 2024. At the time, Guinness World Records noted that he had already earned more than 100 titles.<br /><br />Follow us on:<br />WhatsApp cutt.ly/WhatsAppCFM<br />https://twitter.com/capitalfmkenya/<br />https://www.facebook.com/capitalfmkenya<br />https://www.instagram.com/capitalfmkenya<br /><br />Subscribe to Capital FM News for More: https://goo.gl/um4AGk<br /><br />98.4 Capital FM<br />93.0 Western Kenya<br />98.5 Nakuru and Nyeri<br />104.5 Malindi<br />102.7 Garissa<br />103.9 Meru<br />106.5 Kitui<br />104.9 Voi<br /><br />#CapitalFmKenya
