...gr8 to read bout the guys who define cubin..1st time ive heard of of any of em xcept rubik...lol..but just got my 1st cube a few days back...
 
I knew 15/21. Not too bad for someone this horribly slow, I'd say. Atleast I knew all the people in links.
 
And about Marcus [...] he never did compete. He was REALLY fast. But didn't influence the community enough?

Hey, Marcus here.

I had the UWR at one point and was one of the first to break the 1-minute barrier (if not the first -- I don't know who hit it sooner between myself and Danyang Chen, but it was around the same time).

I was only fast a few years ago -- by today's standards, my times would be quite slow. I had plenty of influential/fun discussions with other members of the community, but at the time, people didn't seem to think that memorizing the cube in 15-20 seconds was possible (even when I made diagrams and explained in great detail how it all worked and what my algorithms were and how they fit in with the memory mnemonic system I had made). People didn't really bother judging the system on its merits, nor did they realize that a good memory system takes time to learn before its speed advantages hit their optimum. Nowadays people use systems like these all the time, if not better systems.

It led to quite a bit of debate between myself, Mao, and Hardwick. They wanted to come observe me, but as I was overworked in school/work and in an extremely dark period in my life, I refused, and it made it difficult to stick around the community. Sometime after that, I just lost interest in cubing. I tried getting back into it a few times, but it just didn't really happen.

does anyone else feel that feliks is fading into the shadows? i hope not because he is the GOAT of cubing
