WCA Should Add 1x1 As An Official Event

[CatSharked]

Wait, what?

Did I take it too far?

AHHH THE BUILDING IS COLLAPSING HOW DID THIS HAPPEN

[WhatDoIPutHere]

YES!!!!

 

[CatSharked]

Alright, back on topic. I don't think 1x1 should be a WCA event, because the building could catch fire and collapse.

But it is so difficult to get times down, and I feel that hard work should be recognized. The best cubing event will obviously be one that people spend a lot of time practicing. I saw that @any name you wish had an awesome method where you swallow the cube in the middle of the solve, which sounds much more efficient that simply starting and stopping the timer, I don't even know my PB because the timer can't go over 10 minutes!

In my opinion, it is too easy to get times down. I am the 1x1 WR holder, with a time of 0.00 seconds

I'd like to see the 8:59 wr getting broken.

I broke the record. i can do it in 3 mins

That's not verified. Also, how did you get so fast?

That's impossible! What method do you use?

I use 1 look X Y' Z Y' over and over again. It works 199 times out of 200.

But how do you work around parity? Or do you just use x x'

 

[Cuber.Hello.com(:]

But how do you work around parity? Or do you just use x x'

oh, thats easy. All you have to do is flip the cube around, and do X and the cube is solved.

 

[WhatDoIPutHere]

Wait, what? I learned all 16 parity algs and I could have just done that?!

Yes, you might as well just burn all knowledge of parity for 1x1.

For 1x1 the goal should be to stop the timer at exactly 1.999 seconds, while blindfolded. Whoever gets closest wins.

What! How?My PB is 1 min, and that is with the best scramble known to man!

my pb is -0.0001 seconds.

I think you got the wrong puzzle but 1x1 is extremely hard. The wr is nearly 9 minutes long and that was on a lucky scramble. Even the beginner method has more algs then zbll. Currently averaging 35 minutes and trying to break the sub 30 barrier

WCA should definitely add 1x1 as an official event, because it is beginner friendly and can get new people into cubing.
1x1 solves also don't depend on hardware as much as other cubes, so a beginner can use any 1x1 to do the event without having to spend money. This would be great because most people won't spend money on something they don't know that they will enjoy/use much, and 1x1 cubes are fairly cheap and you don't have to pay a lot of money to get a very good cube to be able to participate at world-class level.

Geniusssss
