Amazing ^_^

B5c) If he is not touching the puzzle, the competitor may remove the blindfold before he stops the timer. He must not touch the puzzle until the end of the attempt. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF).

Still pretty amazing that he did it

 

[MarcelP]

Incredible! He is a true wonder.

edit: I just watched this:

He is a super natural

Wow, wish I could do that when I was 5...

I do not see me ever in my life get a 16 seconds WCA solve..

Look at sig

 

[YddEd]

Look at sig

WCA, not at home or something.

It's great to see something like this, but I got two questions:

- Was the scramble legit?
- Shouldn't that be a DNF because of the way he stopped the timer? (He looked if the cube is solved and then finished a solve :rolleyes: )

WCA, not at home or something.

He wanted Marcel to look at his own (pkvk9122's) sig :fp

Extraordinary talent :O

3 solved corners is what I see

You can stop the timer after taking off the bldfld, but you can't touch the cube (which he did)

Which doesn't really matter IMHO because he didn't do any moves after taking off the blindfold.

regulation-wise it's not allowed though

As B5c) If he is not touching the puzzle, the competitor may remove the blindfold before he stops the timer. He must not touch the puzzle until the end of the attempt. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF) states this should be a DNF. Why should this be different? Still it's up to the WCA board to decide

1 solved edge too.

Well it is possible, when I started I thought I could not get much faster. You set yourself boundaries, do not do that as this mental block will stop your progress
There are several ingredients to get fast
1) talent
2) dedication
3) training

I lack talent to get to a 9 sec average as my TPS is to high, still with dedication and training I must be able to get a 13 sec average some day
So start to practice more

and age is not an excuse ....

btw For a 16 seconds you only need a TPS of 3 (and a very good lookahead)....

that is the cutest thing i have ever seen

SERIOUSLY !!!
do you really want to tell a 5 year old boy who had just blindsolved the Rubik's Cube that he got a DNF because he removed the blindfold while holding the cube ????!!!!
He'll literately HATE CUBING
He was so excited to see what he did , and he didn't even do any move , the judge made the right decision

He has a bright future , God bless him

I don't want to, but that would be the correct thing. It's a bit unfair that the regulations stretch because of someones age. Why don't we make age groups then?
