    WCA volunteering model failure for serious/elite/focused cubers

    I'll say that as an organizer that I try and avoid having people volunteer the group before they compete. (eg. if someone is in group 3 i'd have them judge/scramble for group 1 but not 2). However it's not neccesarily possible to do that all the time (especially when there is only 2 groups.) I...

    The theoretical best speedcube

    I actually had a dream a few nights ago where Moyu and Gan sent me new cubes. one was the Gan 18 and it was very smooth (like the Tengyun but with more of a gan feel), had a perfect speed and never locked. If the actual Gan 18 winds up fitting this description then I must be a psychic.

    Something that happened to me today

    Is cubinng coming at the expense of you're duties? (like school or chores?) If not then it's fine to do things in your free time. People do a lot of other things in their free time that isn't profitable (like watching TV).

    What's your oldest main speedcube?

    Gan Pyraminx, It's apparently its 6 year birthday based on the cubicle's release dat. (though I got mine late 2022) Actually I use RS3M 2020's for MBLD which were released a bit earlier. Also I have a RS3M v2 or v3 i use for fmc (I bought 6 of them for MBLD back in 2017 but I don't remember...

    What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you at a WCA competition?

    It didn't happen at the comp but on the way. I... didn't make it to the toilet in time. I had extra underwear but my pants had a mark on the back.

    Why is the GAN Pyraminx so bad when (almost) every other GAN cube is amazing?

    we just need to put the Gan's tips on the Dayan V3 and we'd be set.

    Why is the GAN Pyraminx so bad when (almost) every other GAN cube is amazing?

    i actually still use it because I don't like how other's weilong pyraminx feels and the dayan v3's tips suck (the rest turns way better.) There really isn't many pyraminx releases which surprises me considering That I'd think all the young new cubers would be nagging their parents for a new...

    Sub-5 averages

    When I started There was the 6.54 average by feliks with a few others having 7 averages. I'm going to guess it'll be 4.99 in 2030. 3.99 will probaly be ~2038 but I have low confidence in the latter.

    Is anyone against small creators using AI for their thumbnails?

    Ill say that if you just used the logo on the right and slapped it on the one on the left that would probably be better. I say this as someone who has no inherent issues with using AI art for things. If you want you should be able to do A/B testing to see which one preforms better. keep this in...
