OFF TOPIC: Did anybody else see the one kid fall in the background between 1:17 and 1:21?

I watched the video again JUST to find the falling kid xD

Haha, we saw this (Melbourne cubers) today.

I found the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4iPVPqdjZI (watch from 1:07:50)

He says funny things, like: Feliks can practice more than me, because he hasn't got a girlfriend (something like that).
He solves it in 12 seconds without inspection!!

I can't see the video, the video is private, do you have a good link/video?

Chester's video

I actually never saw that before. Chester is an awesome teacher. That was much better information on the cube than you usually see in a mainstream news piece.

Then again, Chester is just awesome, period.

during the london marathon yesterday, a guy dressed as a Rubiks cube tried to beat the world record for solving cubes around the course, he failed, his record last year was 100 or so, this year a batch turned up 5 miles late and he only solved 61

Hi Guys,
I ran the London Marathon yesterday and solved 100 cubes. Official Guinness World Record
I'm quite sure I was the only one. At least I was the only one starting in that category registered with Guinness World Record. Otherwise they would have told me.
@Georgeanderre
Where did you hear/ see that about the guy solving 60 cubes?

I've got already many emails - I shortly will release a video of how we managed the logistically quite challenging run.

I want to raise awareness of Prostate cancer because my father suffered from it and I'm raising money for Prostate Action - any donation is still highly appreciated!

THANKS!

I saw it during the live show, on tower bridge, and again during the highlights show, by which time I think he said he'd done 50~ and I heard it again this morning on the radio, it was only mentioned briefly but they did say he tried 100 but didn't manage them all.
The radio djs are quite dopey so chances Are they were wrong...

I'm running a marathon in October. I wonder if I could somehow organize a team to give me 100 3x3x3's..there are 4 stop stations along the way, random people in crowds giving me some..organizing must have been the hardest part.

That's the video of the interview on the Tower Bridge. Only valid til 25th of April :-/
Listening to it afterwards I have to admit it does sound a bit confusing what I'm saying...

Funny - I read a lot of different stories from "He solved 60 but didn't manage 100" to "He set a new record with 110 cubes".

Let me clarify - quite simple:
I ran the London Marathon 2011 and solved exactly 100 Rubik's Cubes at the same time.
The real challenge was the logistical organisation of the cube swapping points and coping with all the tight Guinness World Record rules. The run itself was much less demanding than I'd expected it to be.
But I'm very proud Now I'm waiting for someone to challenge me. I'm not a good cuber and not a particular good runner either - so shouldn't be too hard to beat 100 cubes...

I will post the full story on my website: www.rubiksrun.com
