Prescient!

I'm trying to imagine Minh Thai's expression.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Wow, just wow. I can't believe Feliks is color-neutral, and yet his inspection time is very short. Amazing solves!

 

[Dene]

Actually, I don't think so. He has been cubing for only almost 2 years I believe, which is very, very short compared to most of the top speedcubers, and his rate of improvement is just insane. Sure, he practises like mad everyday but he's gotta have some real talent to be able to get this fast in this short amount of time. And talent is not something everyone has.

EDIT: or the key here might just be CN

I think it must just be the talent >.<

 

[Toad]

I refuse to believe that this guy is human.

Congratulations Feliks that's just immense!!

 

[Ness]

that's just... wow!! unbelievable fast

 

[Owen]

Does this mean he is officially the fastest cuber in the world?

Of course not its JUST the WR

Erik's faster officially, Felik's is more consistent.

Erik's faster officially, Felik's is more consistent.

I consider RA of 5 to be a better indication of true speed.

But wouldn't you agree that if one person ran a mile in 4 minutes when they averaged 5 minutes in practice, & another ran 4:30 when they averaged 4:30 in practice, the first person would have a faster solve officially?

I love how you completely broke the metaphor halfway through. :3

I would consider the person with the 4:30 average to be faster simply because I value consistency.

Yes Erik has an official faster solve, but in my opinion, Feliks is a faster cuber.

Actually, an average would include all of the times. WCA "averages" are in fact "trimmed means". (But yeah my bad it's not an RA, because it wasn't rolling from previous solves)

I meant time. Yes, but he asked officially.

I consider Average of 500 to be a better indication of true speed.

FTFY

 

[Shortey]

Wowza. 8.91 with pll skip is noob but 7.91 isn't

lol

Congrats Faz! Great average. =)

 

[JackJ]

Wow, just wow Feliks. I'm happy a 14 year old now has the new WR. Hopefully we will be taken as more serious speedsolvers from now on.

 

[acup13]

wowwwwwww........
congratz.......
u are the best Feliks Zemdegs......

That analogy makes no sense because luck plays a huge factor in cubing. You can't skip the last lap in running (and if you could you'd have to discard those times in order to find out how fast people really were). The 7.08 was a lucky on top of an already good solve, and saying Erik is faster because his best single time (out of 100 attempts) is better than faz's (out of 10 attempts) is ridiculous.

14 year olds and others around that age have had great achievements in the past and they were always taken seriously.
