I just stumbled across a review of a gaming glove https://gamertech.gg/pages/magma-glove https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/wearable-tech/gamertechs-magma-glove-is-a-heated-compression-glove-targeted-at-competitive-gamers This should warm and compress hands and wrists for a better gaming...

For your case I would recommend to learn either beginner pll or how to solve oll with multiple sune and antisune turns. But the trick with the inverse move is cool. Maybe I try this for megaminx where I still use this method. You can also flip the cube upside down and use Sexy if sticker is...

In all your calculations, don't forget that China has 1.4 billion people. 24'000 cubers out of 1'400'000'000 people is not very much, even if they have the fastest one. I think all the number you mentioned should be put in releation to the population of these countries

I used to play magic the gathering and have a collections of about 100'000 cards and thousands of rares back until the first editions. I stopped playing almost 20 years ago but still have my collection. I think my collection could have a value of around 10'000$ but I'm to lazy to sell it...

For my next comp it will be 30 seconds, in my last it was 2 minutes. It's very different for every competition, so you should check it for the next comps in your country. In addition to the time limit there is mostly also a cutoff time. This means you have 2 attempts to break this time if you...

In this "434 solves in one hour"-World Record, Max Park also uses the Rubiks Speed Cube. (OK, it's the Rubiks SpeedCube, not the Original) This is an average of 8.25, including inspection I guess cubers like Tymon and Max are fast, no matter what cube they use ;-)

This is true but it's no reason to postpone learning full PLL or even foll OLL after that. Every time you practice F2L you end up with a OLL or PLL case you can learn at the same time. I think it's not good to learn too many algs at once but in my opinion you can learn intuitive F2L parallel to...

I've got a 10x10 for christmas :cool: I could solve it in something between one or two hours. I don't know exactly because I didn't time it and didn't solve it at one time. The biggest problem were the last two centers. I could do it but I needed almost 10 commutators because for the last...

Looks and turns like a standard Rubiks Brand Cube 😜 With a decent speedcube she could solve a 3x3 in the same time. The solve was around 27 Seconds.

I think the best Smartcube on the market is now the GAN 12 UI FreePlay. It exists since a while but no shop sold it. But now you can buy it at the cubicle https://www.thecubicle.com/products/gan12-ui-free-play?_pos=1&_sid=12999e4c3&_ss=r or if you dont mind to order from china for a cheaper...

One really cool thing that differntiates Speedcubedb from other alg sites is the interaction between reconstructions and algs. To see how many of the pros are using one of the algs and in the other direction to identify algs from the alg database in reconstructions. It would be really cool to...

This one is good for OH, but for normal solves I prefer one with M Moves. As the movecount for all these M-Move Variants is quite similiar, it depends mainly on fingertricks which one suits better

How many solving Stations do you plan? If your school has tablets for class use, you could probably use these with cstimer. If not you could still contact your WCA Delegate and ask if they could borrow you some mats and timers for an inofficial event. I would stick as close to the WCA...

Short hair tymon still looks strange to me 🤣 I dont feel that the GanCube Scrambles are better than official Scrambles but maybe I am not good enough to take the advance of a good scramle. But the fact that you don't need a timer and that you can add the scrambing time to inspection, helps a...

Too bad for Luke that Max Park broke the World Records just a couple of weeks earlier after it couldn't be broken for so many years. Luke should have done this a little bit earlier or Max a little later 😜
