Decent quality and quite importantly:
By the way, I checked few videos on Youtube with 7x7BLD solvings, and noticed that sometimes a lot of pieces on the cubes are already on their positions.
With random scrambles this happens, I don’t blame anyone. May be yes, it would be a good idea to implement term “decent scramble”, as let’s say “no more than 5% (or 0%) of pieces should be on their positions”.
But in terms of quality of the scramble of Maxim’s cubes, they looked as good as cubes on other youtube videos.
It means it’s also reasonable to implement one more rule where blindfolders have to ask somebody else to scramble the cube before solving (in addition to keeping scramble for future reference)
Oh, absolutely. Yours just happens to be wrong.
Even though we have opposite opinions, we are right both. I look at the things broader, beyond the scope, and understand why I’m not being understanded.
How many cubers were advanced to the finals on “Got Talented” shows in their countries? Not much, I believe. I assume, because they were thinking within speedcubing rules, what may not be spectacular for audience who doesn’t understand anything in cubing.
Now it was done a step forward, and misunderstanding “How can it be, that cubes were used differently, than on WCA-competitions?!” is absolutely OK, I understand this
Aside from the fact that you're wrong about the use of the word cheating, it doesn't matter what words you use to describe it. It's still just awful.
You more and more remind me one ex-co-worker from a small South-Asian country who had a mental disorder that psychologist call “Disqualifying the positive” Cognitive Distortion”. It is when a person sees only negative things in the world and reject (disqualify) seeing positive.
On that show, the speedcuber came to the stage, said to audience “I have 20 (nice looking, shiny) cubes 7x7 and I memorized all of them! You can pick up any of them, and I’ll solve it without looking at it”. He throw a toy to spectators, and who caught the toy provided him with a number (7). Eyes were shut, cube #7 given, cube is solved, everybody is impressed and happy.
If somebody would come on stage with only one cube, and just solved by reversing scramble, this would definitely be something close to what people call cheating, and I would agree.
In contrast, in the discussed case, a lot of other things around were done, and all of them made a good show from solving a Rubik’s cube.
Of all of this, you see only the process of solving the cube, questioning this, and you are right within your scope. Looking at the same, I see many other things, and I feel I’m right as well
