2011 Guinness Records

[Gaétan Guimond]

So stupid book but I'm happy for Ron. But the funniest is seeing cube larger than life. Beating the champions on a 2x2 fewest move demonstrates ignorance and don't dare admit that the timing isn't the best.

Haven't we gone over this kind of stuff before? They don't accept the WCA official rules(Lube not allowed), and up until Haiyan(I guess) the rule they had for BLD was that inspection time didn't get counted.

I also thought that you aren't allowed to bring your own speedcube. You have to use a real Rubiks' brand cube, straight out of the box they give you.

Definitely!! It would make much more people read the book =D

I have no idea what kind of people buy that book these days.

People who like the shiny cover.

They'll change the rule to whatever accommodates them. Ron's record obviously wasn't set with a new cube.

But their rules for other things are just as strange. Many (not all) of the endurance things have breaks built into them. Holding your breath has oxygen taken beforehand....
