Feliks Zemdegs is an Australian speedcuber from Melbourne, Australia. He is the current world record holder for 3x3 average and 5x5 single and average. He is widely considered to be the most successful competitive cuber in history. Even though he is fast, Feliks is starting to lose world records, because he got very quick before anyone else, now other people are caching up to him, like Mats Valk, that broke his 3x3 single(5.55), Sebastian Weyer, that broke his 4x4 average(29.17), and Christopher Olson, that broke his 2x2 average(2.02).

Style

Feliks is a color-neutral CFOP user. His meteoric rise in 2009, together with Rowe Hessler's earlier success, were the catalysts for the current popularity of Color neutrality in 3x3 speedsolving. (Also, str8baq) For the 2x2 cube, he uses CLL.
