11-Year-Old Girl Breaks Rubik's Cube Guinness World Record

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with congratulations to Sankavi Rathan, who broke a Guinness World Record at age 11. She solved 30 Rubik's cubes one-handed while hula-hooping. Yeah, she's keeping the hoop going while moving around the cube. The previous record was 25 cubes. The one-handed part made this perfect for her because she had limited mobility in her right hand. She solved them left-handed and finished all 30 in about an hour. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
