The solution is not easy to finger trick for sure. R U R U is not easy.

oops I did it backwards
my solution was L U' L U'

Why do I feel like that is a better solution though? IDK, maybe its just faster for me.

Polish scrambles go brrrrr

Poland has the most amount of people with a counting sub-1, like 5 now. American only has 3.

Srsly tho there should be a FBI investigation or smthg

People who nobody knows about trying not to get 2x2 WR challenge (impossible!)

Nah, it was a better case than Guanbo at least. Teodor was a top player, had polish NR before this, and is quite well know in the 2x2 community

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

This is absolutely nuts. That solution executed perfectly is very, very impressive, especially by someone so young!

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

I feel bad for Guanbo Wang. He must've thought that he would have that record for years, and it only lasted about a year.

 

[baseballjello67]

I think he is 7. Youngest WR holder.

first non-asian 7 year old to get some ridiculous solve

Shoutout to the guy who sounds like an air raid siren

Poland happened to be testing their emergency alert systems that same morning.

Congrats to this kid (Teodor Zajder), His WR was amazing!

people always speculate we may be approaching the limit of cubing, but I think it's true if we're specifically talking about the 2x2 WR single

you literally can't get anything easier than a 4-move scramble, because it's a wca regulation

will that ever change do you think?

When I was seven I was looking at my Rubik’s “Mini” thinking that I wasn’t going to cheat with a tutorial. I was very happy when I solved 3 sides.

Jokes aside this is so insane and congrats to Teodor Zajder for crushing the world record and blowing away the old Polish NR..

Yeah, its an arbitrary move minimum, skewb has less possible states, but a higher minimum move count, does not make sense. If we want to see the fastest possible average, we have to allow the possibility of the best possible scrambles.
