I thought Kevin was retiring from cubing! (I guess that was just a rumor.) Good thing he didn't.
This is a very interesting WR time because it now makes
a formula I wrote back in 2012 match the WR times for the 4x4x4 through 7x7x7 cubes much more accurately. (The function takes in the current 3x3x3 WR avg of 5.)

Of course, I initially said that this formula was to calculate potential WR averages of 5 of the non-virtual nxnxn cube, but since a single WR is the best an average can be, it is technically the "potential".[/TD]
