A 12-year-old Chinese boy has astonished an overseas TV talent show audience by taking less than a minute to solve three Rubik’s cube puzzles – one in each hand and one with his feet.

Que Jianyu accomplished the feat while making a one-off appearance on the Australian version of the children’s talent show Little Big Shots.

Que’s first stunt on Sunday was to memorise the positions of the squares on a cube and then complete the puzzle with a blindfold on. He did so in about 12 seconds.

“I need to memorise the position of every single square and use the formula to solve it,” he said in Putonghua through an interpreter.

Show host Shane Jacobson said: “That’s unbelievable. I cannot remember how to spell his name and I’ve seen it written on the wall about 10 times.”
