Leyan Andrew Lo (born November 24, 1985) held the world record of 11.13 seconds for the fastest Rubik's Cube solve until Toby Mao in 2006 had a solve of 10.48 at the U.S. nationals competition in San Francisco. Leyan appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he solved a Rubik's Cube in 18.9 seconds. He also holds the former world record for the fastest blindfolded Rubik's Cube solve, at 1:28.82.Not only a former and current world champion, Leyan teaches different methods of solving the Rubik's Cube. On his website, one can find multiple methods of solving a Rubik's Cube, including algorithms and diagrams for a "Beginners' Solution", and "Speedcubing", and algorithms for "Blindfold Cubing". Keys for how to interpret the different algorithm annotations can be found at the top of the "Beginners' Solution" page.Leyan graduated from California Institute of Technology in June 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics.In 2011, Leyan was selected to be among 101 musicians to perform in the YouTube Symphony Orchestra on violin.
California student who, to date (2006), holds the world record for unscrambling the Rubik's Cube in just 11.13 seconds (the previous record had been 11.75 sec). Oddly enough, when Lo later performed the mind-boggling feat on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), he solved the cube in just under 19 seconds
