These records are amazing, I wish I had been at this competition. Just one little problem:
I greatly respect Haiyan Zhuang, I am not trying to offend him in any way. I think this world record is simply astounding. However, the WCA regulations state: 'During the full solve the judge must keep a sheet of paper or a similar object between the competitor's face and the puzzle, unless the puzzle is in a position where peeking at the puzzle is not possible.' (Rule B4c)
His judge had no item in between his face and the puzzle for the first 13 seconds of the solving portion. He most likely couldn't be peeking, and was in a position where it was impossible for him to see the puzzle. I am almost certain that this record is valid, I just thought I should bring this up. I think the WCA Board should be sure that this record is legal. Was it possible for him to have been peeking during the execution? If it was, the result is DNF.
But that's the judge's fault for not paying attention, and I doubt he'd cheat like that.
he doesn't practice 3x3 anymore, so he does 3x3 speedsolves the same way he does BLDIs it just me, or is it odd that his 3x3x3 speedsolve competition best is slower than his 3x3x3 BLD record?

Hi:I am Hai Yan zhuang from china. It is very nice to have so many friends here!
May be everybody here are confused with my 3*3 speed grade, why there are so many DNF. Because I use Blind method take part in the speed competition. I am very nervous during the competition. I can not stop my hand trembling. I have to give me more chance to make me do not so nervous. So I use Blind method take part in the speed competition. Everybody in china like me use this method. They give applause for me. They do not care if I waste time.
