[WR] 5.25 3x3x3 single by Collin Burns

[Bindedsa]

Any little thing that can be blown up to a controversy.

He just happened to get the WR at a competition he organized? Pretty suspicious.

I'm guessing you're playing Devil's Advocate, but organisers don't touch scrambles, that's the delegates. Only been a few delegate WRs, the clock one (retracted) Daniel's 4bld one(s?) and a couple others. Quick go investigate all the non-retracted ones /s

Too suspicious! I demand a reprimand and a suspension henceforth until the accused proves their innocence.

Screw it! RESET ALL WR!!

I would feel bad if he like picked up the cube right away out of excitement and got a +2 out of it.

I mean, this is Collin...this is probably the biggest reaction you'l ever see out of him

Congrats, Collin.

The stats page is updated every couple of weeks or so.

Great publicity for the World Cube Federation.

Yeah, I was the delegate. I was the one who generated the scrambles and brought them. I was literally the only person who had access to them before each round. They were password protected and only I knew the password.

On Saturday soon after this happened I created an account here. For the cuber verification question "What is the current 3x3 WR single?" I put 5.25. It did not accept that answer.
GJ Collin!
PA Rules!

haha I remember that, time to change it pjk or whoever is responsible for that stuff.

 

[NeilH]

Because I was the delegate.

Sorry, it's up now. Life and workbook issues slowed it down by a few days.

Hey, I saw it. Thanks for putting it there

 

[posaidon0802]

that was unexpected. Everyone thought feliks was gonna do it. Congrats!

 

[kcl]

Yeah, these WR/CR/NRs are under a heavy microscope, so I was worried about that too. It's pretty clean though. Nothing really stands out. I would feel bad if he like picked up the cube right away out of excitement and got a +2 out of it.

The biggest controversy I've seen from non-cubers is the inspection thing "He actually took 15 seconds, because he looked over the cube before he solved it!" Muggles...

I can't say I've ever actually seen that rule enforced for +2's. It's fairly ambiguous honestly. I've picked up my cube immediately after solves plenty of times in the past with no penalization.

Crazy! Congrats man!

Congrats Collin. going to be a tough fight between you, feliks and mats at the worlds.

Can't say I agree. Mats had a very good 2013 but hasn't performed as well since. Collin has some great individual results (this, 2014 US nats) but isn't performing nearly as consistently well as Feliks does. I would expect a bigger challenge out of Alex Lau or perhaps the Weyer twins, if any of them go.

I don't thin Alex is going I heard he s nervous with too much crowd or something like that. Sebastian weyer is going for sure, he won German nationals and the winner of German nationals would get a booked flight to Brazil ( or something similar do that). I really hope Mats will make up at world considering what happened 2 years ago in Las Vegas .

What does he have to "make up"? Three podiums, man. Three podiums.
