    Yeah.

    My local news finally mentioned it earlier this week. I didn't see it, but my parents told me it was on for like 3 seconds. :P

    In case you're wondering, I ALWAYS notice random stuff in the background like this...
    Yeah I noticed stuff in the background sometimes too, I love when I recognize some of the random things.

    In almost every sitcom, there is a re-occuring cube on a coffe table, on a chest, etc.

    Also, I love the big bang theory and immediately saw those cubes.

    a teenage guy in my area recently broke the WR for most cubes solved in an hour. i can't find coverage of it online, but it was on a local TV news station. he was only able to do 64. i couldn't believe that so little was the WR, so i did some research and found this site.

    so....... are those just unofficial?

    i'm confused.
    We atheists always knew the cake was a lie.

    This is too less. I mean I can do more than 64 and yes the site is unofficial but there is no provision on the official WCA site for such records

    So far in Malaysia, I had only seen one cube solving on the TV. Eventough its just 5-7 minutes, well im very proud of them.

    They were on a Talk Show and aired around 10 pm or 11 pm. Im not sure.
    The Show.

    There's WCA records, which everyone respects, unofficial speedcubing.com, which most people take with a grain of salt, and then there's Guiness records, which are a joke and regulated with standards that make no sense. This guy got the third one.
    CubingUSA.com - Find other cubers, be notified of upcoming competitions, and more.
