I'm not getting much time to practise these days (and it's only going to get worse soon), but I'm really hoping I can make it and see what Scottish cubers have been kicking around.

Zeroing strikes again!

Cool! Looks like a good guide from what I've read so far, and should be fun to try using this in solves.

Just over a minute gap between first and second at the world champs, wow. Well done Stanley!

I thought FMC single was dead after the 17, well done for proving me wrong!

Do you have a rough idea on the clocks being available? Picking up actually good hardware might be enough to make me practise and try developing noflip more.

Cool to see you posting! I've got the link bookmarked I'll check it out soon, I'm curious about what progress you've made on this.

No, I made the noflip method years ago and demoed it in comp. Nobody seems to care about using a method that's faster and more interesting though, they'd rather just complain about the normal method.

I'd recommend not taking lucky singles too seriously, average is generally seen as a better indication of skill (though getting sub 4 on a good scramble still takes a lot of skill). I'd also recommend making sure the main reason you cube is to have fun. It's a hobby. Not that going for WR is a...

The old system had clicking on the thread title to take you to unread posts, or the first page sometimes (seems to be when something changes on the forum for the first time clicking into a thread, or a little black circle to jump to the unread posts. Seemed like a weird setup, but I knew how to...

Interesting, I think it could be worth considering as a preferred unofficial event, which would eliminate the WCA related problems. As for timescales and big competitions, maybe introduce one each year but have it last for say two years. Each event gets more time to be held, but it still gets...

Amazing stuff Shivam! So cool to see such a big jump in WR after so many sup-WR attempts at home.

It's nice that they named a city after the reconstruction god.
