So quick that it is hard to follow! Also, can everyone just focus on the solves and not debate minutia? It is just a video of some home solves. There are no claims that this a record of any kind (WR or UWR). No one follows every single regulation possible during all of their home solves.

I agree with this somewhat, but it's only true to an extent. Things which remain under our control (+2's, DNF's, overinspection) should still be observed at home as much as possible. Things like judges or delegates or stackmat timers cannot be controlled by us, hence why it is acceptable to ignore them at home.

This is qqtimer.net. Many people (myself included) prefer cstimer.net/timer.php because of a bit more functionality.

WCA Regulations are for WCA competitions and have no weight or relevance to UWR or solves at home. Also protip, Kennan was using sarcasm to expose the fail logic. L2 internet.

Surely it is within our control to keep our hands from touching the cube in the period after inspection and before the solve starts? Should this not be "observed at home as much as possible". If you think that is true, then most of these solves clearly were +2s. I think I am the one seeing a bit of failed logic here lads.

LazyEistein: Shame that you think you have 'won' the 'argument' with me by trying to patronize me by pointing out obvious things and throwing in terms like "protip" which are marinated with sarcasm and rudeness. I can recommend a very good finishing school for girls in Switzerland, if you feel like it.

Dude, just chill. It's a 1-minute video of him cubing in his house. It is not a big deal.

Also, what you said to LazyEinstein was uncalled for.

I always start holding the cube because IMO it is literally a more accurate way to time yourself. Think about it, if we are trying to determine the exact time it takes to solve the puzzle then this is a way to get closer to the actual time. I don't know why you care so much. We don't have to follow any WCA regulations at home if we don't want to. We have chosen a few to be generally accepted, but this is not one of them. And what you said to Einstein was just ridiculous, don't you realize he invented the theory of relativity?!?!

Guys, this video is just a video of Feliks doing at home solves. I'm sure you break some of those regulations as well. Why can't a fast cuber upload something without being criticized? We are breaking the one thing that keeps this community special.

Really guys? An incredible average and you're arguing WCA regs? That's an intimidating average!

I think we should be focusing on the fact that Faz is watching conspiracy theories while cubing and that his times are too fast therefore Illuminati confirmed.

Haha nah it's a Penn and Teller show.

And I did some tests last night, I don't actually touch the cube when my hands are on the spacebar.
