In a dazzling display of balance, brainpower, and boldness, 17-year-old Micah Anderson has stunned the world by solving a whopping 172 Rubik’s Cubes — all while perched high above the ground on stilts!
The mind-bending feat took place at a public park in Austin, Texas, drawing crowds of curious spectators and cube enthusiasts alike. With a timer ticking and a team of adjudicators from the Guinness World Records keeping a sharp eye, Micah twisted, turned, and towered his way through cube after cube without ever touching the ground.
“I wanted to do something no one’s ever done before — something fun, quirky, but also crazy challenging,” Micah said with a grin after his final cube clicked into a solved state. “Solving Rubik’s Cubes is one thing. Doing it while balancing on stilts? That takes it to a whole new level.”
The attempt lasted just under two hours, with Micah maintaining perfect balance and focus throughout. His performance has already been submitted for official world record consideration under the category of “Most Rubik’s Cubes Solved While on Stilts.”
Micah, who’s been solving cubes since the age of 9 and recently added stilt-walking to his list of talents, trained for weeks leading up to the event. His unique combination of mental agility and physical control has earned him admiration from around the globe, with fans flooding social media under the hashtag #CubeOnStilts.
“I hope this inspires other young people to think outside the box — or, in my case, above the ground,” Micah laughed.
Whether he’s setting records or setting trends, one thing’s for sure: Micah isn’t just solving cubes — he’s redefining what’s possible, one twist at a time.
