I’m catching up to you…lol

Maybe

I’m catching up to you…lol

technically mdcuber9 is catching up to bluecubing assuming bluecubing’s improvement is stagnant. However, if bluecubing is improving at a faster/same rate as mdcuber9, that means mdcuber9 isn’t actually catching up despite improving his times.

oops
there must be a mathematical term for what i just explained
is this relativity or something?

Yes, iirc relativity is the correct term.
The rate of improvement in comparison to each other is relatively in this context...
