Well what do you know...I'm flying up to Cincinnati tomorrow morning for a possible internship during Summer '11. If all goes well, I'll be nearby to attend.

Nice reaction!

Yes it is. Congratulations!

Along with the big...uh...gloves.

We have roughly the same hand size, but my palm isn't as big. My palm is 4.25 in = 10.795cm

8 inches or 20.32 centimeters. People tell me I have big hands.

Isn't it a little more common on a 2x2 though?

When you're lucid dreaming you know you're dreaming, but you also have to do "reality checks" to be sure.

This was a suggestion I was actually going to make.

Wind is the biggest obstacle. Simply falling isn't that big of an issue. Once you hit terminal velocity or a constant speed, your body won't even know you are falling. As for the issue of tandem vs. solo, I'll come back to that later.

I would have to say that falling on your back would be an acceptable way to solve the cube while skydiving. That takes a lot of skill and you are using just your body. There are no outside tools that are assisting you with your solve. I agree that your solve was done during freefall. But like...

True, it only specifies freefall but I assume that most people would agree that it implies freefall in the recreational skydiving sense considering the record was created after Dan Knights. That would mean it is just you (possibly with an instructor which brings up a completely new argument)...

Whether or not he went out with the intent of beating Dan is one thing. He probably didn't. But now that he thinks he's the new holder of the UWR, I think we need to establish whether or not his solve counts. Obviously, in my opinion, it doesn't.

I'll post it here instead so I don't hijack the other thread. Sorry. As a cuber who has solved a cube in freefall, I don't consider your solve as beating Dan Knights. As you said, you were sitting in a boat which cut out a lot of wind resistance. It's easy to tell how much easier it was for you...

omg that made me laugh. To help though, I'd look into other memorization methods. As someone else said, I don't think they are equal in potential.

This. Just kidding, just kidding. I have to agree with 4chan though, this thread is very misleading. I was expecting a video.

Wow, that explains a lot. I saw a guy four times as big as me solving and thought to myself, "He isn't your typical speedcuber." @Cuberkid10: lol, yes that was me. I really wish you still had it too..

I was the tall half-Korean guy wearing the brown shirt and jeans. Edit: I also didn't mean to leave Chris Tran out of the organizers. Thanks to you as well!

I had a great time at this competition. Along with almost everybody else, I didn't do as well I would have liked to but it was still a blast. If I didn't meet you at the competition, sorry. I would have liked to talk to everybody but with practicing, judging, and scrambling, I didn't get to...
