There hasn't been a single world record in any event since the 14th of December, which makes this the longest drought since 2005, and the sixth longest time overall.
Weird.

I met someone who actually knew something about cubing today! I was cubing while waiting for lunch at a restaurant, and the waiter told me that his wife was a cuber. He knew about speedcubes and the Moyu 13x13, though he did drop the "used to peel the stickers off" line. All in all, pretty cool!

According to this thesis https://people.kth.se/~boij/kandexjobbVT11/Material/rubikscube.pdf (p. 60) there are 170911549183 elements in the cube group of order two. There are 6 states (rotate some face 180°) that are not WCA legal. So the probability is 170911549177/43252003274489856000 which is about 4*10^{-9}

Cool!
I was sitting in a coffee shop idly solving a cube a few days ago and got chatting to somebody who asked me if I'd seen the video of CUBESTORMER 3 on the internet? You should have seen his expression when I told him who I was!?!?!?!

I always do (when competing in feet). I keep several packets of wipes in my cubing bag for just that purpose.

I'm glad to hear that, but honestly I would feel really awkward doing that in front of a bunch of people..

The "difficulty" of feet is doing an equivalent task (solving a 3x3) with a clumsier tool (feet instead of hands). That's really, really pointless. You're not even solving a more difficult puzzle, you're just arbitrarily restricting the amount of coordination you're allowed to use to solve it. Feet ARE cleaner than hands, but most of the people who complain about the hygiene of feet solving are really just looking for an excuse to get feet out of the official events, which I don't blame them for doing since it's really ****ing stupid.
