Andy Tran?!

Andy Tran admitted guilt. Levi Emailed him. Unless whoever submitted the fake times on SC also had Andy's email password.

Which Andy Tran? Maybe you have more information than me, but to me it's still only an assumption that the one you're talking about is the one from Australia whose youtube account I linked to earlier.
 
:) I wish I did have more information than you, it would make this easier.

I don't know where you or I are going with this. I respect the fact that you don't see the evidence as proof, but unless you can get some better evidence for your case, I'm going to assume that Andy Tran from Australia whose youtube account you linked earlier submitted fake times to the Sunday Contest in hopes of getting free stickers.
 
This is more disgusting than that guy who stole the cube from Odin. Why are people so desperate and nerdy? If I needed stickers, I would have so many options to choose from:
1. go to store to buy a sheet of vinyl
2. Use labeling stickers
3. Peel off stickers and just use "black" as the green face.
4. Put away the cube and use another one until I order from Cubesmith, cube4you, etc next time to get stickers.
5. Post here in the Trade, buy, sell section as a request.

There are so many more options.
I used to think cubists were honest and smart people; the new generation is not as pure... Anything for speed, even dishonestly.

The "previous" generation had Yish
The "previous previous" generation had XXX
And way in the beginning we had AlienStranger, AKA Guimond

Please don't become one of those people that think everything was better in the past
 
Was there a cheating problem with AlienStranger? I thought he just posted unintelligible rants and strange YouTube videos.

Haha, you are right. I remember crazy Yish. But he's just using a fake method, not actually trying to steal anything.
Who was XXX?
I've heard that Guimond did something before, what was it exactly? Something about BLD?

I don't think drugs can help. They will probably just make you more nervous and pop more.
 
Depends on the drug. Maybe someone finds out that medications used to treat ADHD let you calm down and focus better.

I'm assuming that XXX means M-Dawg.

Who are Yish and Guimond?
 
Hadley:

Yish was the most lol'd at person ever XD

he came out of nowhere "averaging 10 secs" then made a video of an avg. of 12 to prove he was real and most of his solves were ~27 moves.
when then asked him why he did so many random turns at the start of each solve and he replied " I have a theory, the longer the start, the shorter the end"

so then we asked him to solve a scramble and guess how many moves it took... 70!!!

AVG was then willing to pay to fly to his place to see his amazing method but Yish rejected XD.

on the sgcubers forum he then had a new method

yish said:
manipulate f2l (5 secs)
finish F2L in 1 alg (3 secs)
then 1LLL (2 secs)

all in all, he was an epic fail.

About guimond... IDK
 
Stefan, as far as I can tell, the evidence is conclusive; you're just looking for the wrong thing. We have a confession from *an* Andy Tran that he submitted fake times to the SC. In a way, it doesn't even matter whether there is another, legitimately fast Andy Tran out there, because we know that there is one who cheated. (To be honest I really don't think there are two Andy Trans, because it would be too much of a coincidence for there to be two speedcubers of the same name from the same country, both of whom do the Sunday Contest, and one of whom is actually capable of the extroardinarily fast times that the other one posted in order to cheat and get free stickers.)

I think stefan's main problem was that I claimed there was proof when really it was just strong evidence. I think/hope deep down that stefan believes it's the same Andy because really, were not going to get anymore evidence unless Jon could confirm the email-address, but I still see that as being rather moot at this point.
