2.79 for the Rubik's cube: possible?

[gecan]

I was looking at the Sunday contest highscore list, when I saw someone achieved a solve of 2.79 seconds. Is that even possible?

I find it quite hard to believe. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it's legit or not?

It's not 2x2x2 either: Official 7.96 12.83 8.65 11.00 13.09 at last comp.

Just as funny as the guy posting a 19 HTM CE solution on the classic FMC...

by every stretch of the imagination it is indeed very possible,

...

if the Scramble is only U
or as someone said: Triple skip
or even a practised reversed scramble

Hey guys its me and its my 2x2 result sorry ya. i though it got different contest like 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 i don't know there's only 2x2. And for the official result case, the 2x2 cube was sucks.

Someone complains about fake times. Everyone concludes it's fake. Person responsible apologizes. No need for any more posts in this thread.

 

[Jia Xuan Kee]

For everyone on the speedsolving.com, my truly apologize at here. and the fact, i really don't know its a contest for 3x3 cube only. Please forgive my ignorance.

 

[Godmil]
