Saul Hafting of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, was just 16 when he took on the record for most rotating puzzle cubes solved while on a pogo stick. The old record stood at 65. Hafting blew past it, solving 211 cubes during his 2021 attempt, a margin so wide it is hard to imagine anyone catching up soon.

But the real prize came later: earlier this year, he opened an email telling him he'd been selected for the Guinness World Records 2027 edition, UPI reported . The book is now available…Open
