See above

6.54 least surprising? That would be my vote for MOST surprising (or the 23 BLD but I don't think others would agree)

Calling the sq1 WR surprising is like calling the 2x2 single surprising.

It's faz. Everyone was all "Wat!" When they saw it, but we all knew it would happen eventually. Sq1 single, being beaten by a 30s solver? Surprising to me.

Ok, we knew he was probably going to break it, but did you really expect it to be by .95? That's a HUGE leap! (This part was edited cuz I was being stupid)

Maybe because you don't do Square-1 seriously? (I don't either, but) From what I hear, single times are extremely variable, so it's not that surprising.

 

[kcl]

So why is it surprising...?

Nono I was saying the 6.54 was NOT surprising. Amazing, yes. Surprising, no. And now that I think about it, I guess you're right. But still, random state scrambles make lol solves rare..

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Best couple: Stefan and Noah.

 

[PeelingStickers]

Funniest thread: 1.26 avg of 5

 

[Owen]

Best controversy has to be Telesforo.

Even Feliks was surprised. He averages low 7 at home.

Random state scrambles make lol states rare? I don't understand why you would think that.

Yes I know, but from what I've seen, sub 7 averages of 5 and even 12 are not uncommon for him. As for random state scramble stuff, I was reading somewhere in here and people said they get much slower times on random state scrambles.
