A Rubik's Cube in 7 seconds: Auckland teen to represent NZ at world Champs
Solving a Rubik's Cube over a whole day is a challenge beyond most of us - but for one Auckland teenager seven seconds is all the time he needs to align those tricky coloured tiles.
Thirteen-year-old Simon Geertsema has become so quick at solving the classic puzzle, he has earned the right to represent New Zealand at the World Rubik's Cube Championships in Melbourne next month.
Wish him luck!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
