∞ signs that you've been cubing for too long

638: "counting x" usually means a solve time of x in (usually an avg5, sometimes an avg12) that is neither the best nor the worst, like for instance when I got the official times 13.07, 11.19, 8.75, 8.74, 11.87; I could say I got a counting 8.
645: It means you started cubing before circa 2010 when Feliks became God.
 
648. You remember when there were less official 5s than there are official 4s now.
The last date that was true (counting Antonie's NR today) was December 12, 2014. The sub-6 times were:
Mats Valk, 5.55, Zonhoven Open 2013
Feliks Zemdegs, 5.66, Melbourne Summer 2014
Jiayu Wang, 5.81, Cube Elite Union Cafe 2014
Alexander Lau, 5.96, Cambridge Open 2013
Drew Brads, 5.97, US Nationals 2014

On December 13, 2014, Collin Burns got an NAR (5.93) at Red Cross 2014.

649. When you can be bothered to look at world records and almost world records from 2014
650. When you realise that cubing has gone 5 years and Feliks still hasn't managed to knock a single second off his official PB
 
657.When parity is no longer scary.
658.When the sound of a cube being solved is a pacifying music to you but harsh and unbearable to your parents.
