Well this is weird. I emailed RTE(Radio, Teiliffiese, Eirínn. Eng. Radio, Television, Ireland) And they emailed back almost straight away. Apparently I'm on a radio show at 9 o'clock. Which is an hour and 15 minutes after I emailed! Currently twenty past 8 and I'm on just after 9! Good Luck to me!

Great interview. And it sounds like you're going to have a follow-up with them as well. Congratulations and great job spreading the word about our hobby!

"On Sunday, Brads set a North American record of 5.97 seconds for solving one side of the 3x3 cube."

PLEASE! WHEN CAN WE HAVE THE FACEPALM SMILEY BACK!?!?!?!

That is such a huge fail. Those noncubers...

I have one that might be almost as bad: http://www.dailylocal.com/general-news/20140719/with-rubiks-cube-pa-boy-is-outta-sight

"At competitions, players sometimes rub the cubes in sand so that the pieces won’t stick as they are moved." Seriously, RUBBING IN SAND?!?! The writer should realize that this destroys plastic. I only have one guess on where they got this idea. They were probably told that we modify our cubes by sanding them down. So, apparently, sanding down = rubbing in sand.

Well, might not be that far off. I think I remember people around 2004-2006 or so actually using sand in their cubes to break them in.
