Yo Facebook members! I have my suspicions about a cubing poseur

i counted 14-16 moves. for sure set up, in an earlier comment he made:
"just to let evryone who looks at this knows trhis is my 2nd best time. my best time was seen and recorded by james fector who was the witness to my 8 second solve. thank you james for the easy solve ever."
he clearly doesn't understand what a lucky solve is.
 
I usually just ignore stuff like this, but I felt compelled to post a comment on his video. Stuff like this makes me mad, and it's disrespectful to all of the cubers who work their butts off to get legit fast times. Here's what I posted: "15 moves in 11 seconds... yeah, real impressive. With your turning speed, you probably average around 40-45 seconds on real solves, assuming you even know OLL and PLL. If you want to post fake videos to impress your friends, you're free to do so, but don't expect to get any respect from the cubing community."

edit: He has another video on the group of a 12 second solve: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=14051810919&oid=2200303231
We have another yish here...
My comment on that one: "Dude, you should work on your cross... 4.5 seconds? The top cubers can do it in 1.5 seconds max. And what's your secret to getting all those last layer skips? You had one on this solve and another one on your 10.96 video. It's odd that you got two last layer skips in a row like that AND got them both on video, seeing as how the odds of a LL skip are 1 in 15552. What a coincidence... so what's your secret? Because if I could get LL skips like you, I would be averaging sub 7 easily."

edit again: Oh man, it gets better. On the group there is a topic asking everyone's best time, best average, and how old they are. Here's what he said:

"16 wit 9 mounths of experience

3x3
lucky-8.36
unluck-10.79
average-9.73

4x4
lucky-1m 14sec
unlucky-1m 46 sec
average-1m 23sec

5x5
lucky-1m 42sec
unlucky-2m 03sec
average-1m 57sec

i have a homemade syames one with two 3x3s
lucky-59sec
unlcky-1m 39sec
average-1m 21sec
ne1 have a syames 4x4 cause im havin trouble findin time 2 make one?"

His averages are faster than his best unlucky times! What a joke.

Scramble (orange in front, green on top):
D' R' D B' R' B U' R' U F' R' F B2 U2

Solution:
U2
x'U2
x2'UU2'RU
x'U2'URU
x'U'RU
x'U'RU

Lemme make that clearer:
U2x'
U2x'
x'U'RU
x'U'RU
x'U'RU
x'U'RU

EDIT: Jason's link looks like roughly the same solve (some extra U2 turns and rotations in the middle). He made a mistake on his last solve from all his over-turning redundant turning. :p

EDIT 2: Wait, this guy goes to a Christian academy? :rolleyes:

im surprised you took the time to even dignify that video with such a long comment. But yes, he's a douche :) But I mean, people are pretty skeptical about this kind of stuff, sooner or later his friends will scramble the cube for him, and he will look like a complete looser.
 
Lol, fakers make me laugh. Dene is so light-hearted :)

EDIT: Arg, not having a facebook account forever burdens me, I want to see the video :(

What a lucky boy. (I wanted to say something else that starts with an b)
 
The reply from the guy at the 12s solve:
"to jason buam. k so i have no clue ne lingo that uz r uzin but what u can do is finish the top layer and leave out a corner. i always do that then fill in the middle buy puttin the opposite coloer on that side 4ex. the b+o if the b is on the bottom the i line the o on the orange side. drop that side down than put the correct color aligning it with the side then put the side back up."

I can't even read this because the spelling is just too much. My head hurts haha. He does not know what he is talking about does he...

I sovled it on the first day! dose it mean I have an IQ of 160? and now after 2 weeks i can solve it blindfolded in 55 seconds!

I have created a new algorithm that can help u solve Rubik's cube in a matter of minutes. contact me if u wanna learn the easist algorithm ever

So hilarious XD

Lawl matter of minutes...(great one) bld 55 second....dang what method?
 
hmm yeah.. deleted posts. Oh well, I posted anyway. I wonder if he'll watch the video I linked to (thrawst's uber fast solve, mentioned earlier in here...)
