Where: The Cubicle
When: December 2013
Thoughts: I agree with everyone else; this puzzle, in my opinion, was quite overhyped. As soon as I got it and took it out of the box, it fell apart in my hands. After fixing the tensions and lubricating it, it was pretty good, but no better than my...

Thoughts: The puzzle turns amazingly smoothly. It's very durable and is a fun challenge at first, although it becomes easy after a few solves.
I've been hearing some pretty good things about the Weilong recently. My friend got his first sub 10 with a Weilong, and now Feliks breaks the WR with it. I just might get one. Not sure if I'll switch, though. I really like my Shuang Ren.
My 7 year old little sister can do it in less than 1:30. I'm trying to help her get to sub 1, but the problem is that she refuses to learn new algorithms, and no matter how much I tell her not to, she still uses her thumbs to turn the cube XD
She also uses a Guhong v2, albeit a white one.
Round 1
Race to sub 30 OH
Average: 41.02
39.60, (33.59), 43.67, (49.30), 41.36, 35.49, 36.32, 41.68, 42.91, 47.87, 34.59, 46.69
Yeah, those scrambles were pretty easy. Easy x-cross on 6th one. That one could have been sub 30, had I not screwed up the F2L :(
lol my 7 year old sister solves faster than him.
Also love the comment about surrounding himself with 11 year old nubs at worlds. Exactly my impression of it too.
4x4: 1:18.08, 1:19.04, 1:17.28, 1:15.55, 1:18.42, 1:13.09, 1:20.56, 1:07.06, 1:33.51, 1:05.51, 1:32.02, 1:25.01 = 1:18.61
Had some really nice solves in there. PB single and Ao5!
That 1:05.51 could have been my first sub 1, though, had I not screwed up the 3-2-3 edge pairing and F2L :(
