I'm pretty sure this is the first time that this has been done. Unfortunately, the cube isn't quite visible when I'm actually doing moves here, but I'm happy enough that I got it at all. Time is about 5:37. Brest, you're welcome to have a go if you feel up to it.

I have long been of the opinion that a five-solve trimmed average measures a speedcuber’s skill too unreliably to decide the winner of a competition. Recent events have shown this observation to be correct, especially after the tightening of the top group of competitors that has taken place...

I was thinking about a new (as far as I know; correct me if you've seen it before) type of flat puzzle yesterday, and it looks quite interesting after studying it for a while. Here's the simplest version of the puzzle: You have a 3x3 square, and the 2x2 ("postage stamp") corners of the square...
