Random Cubing Discussion

Just how would a spring be upside down?
Typically springs are symmetrical.

Grab a Dayan cube and flip a spring. there's your asymmetry

Just yesterday a ShengShou 3x3 for a friend,

I still haven't gotten my stuff and I'm ****ing pissed about it lol

Wtf I just had my fifth OLL skip of the day.

EDIT: 6, this one was winter variation though.

 

[F perm]

Feliks Zemdegs, faster human cuber
Felix Baumgartner, fastest human free faller
I'd have to collect more data for a solid conclusion, but for now I will tentatively say that Felix/Feliks is a fast name

EDIT: Just noticed both are Australian too... and the plot thickens.
EDIT2: Never mind, Felix is Austrian. Whatever, I'm dumb

Baumgartner is Austrian, not Australian

Back in the day we used to say that to be fast required an M in your name. There were surprisingly many examples. Of course, our friend zeMdegs fits the pattern perfectly.

What were some examples? Other than Zemdegs, ofc.
