Oh my gosh I'm an idiot for not noticing that. Good catch.

How about removing from your signature that you're sub 12 when you averaged 22 in competition a month ago?

3x3 was so sucky because I had been doing pretty bad that week to begin with, It was my first comp so I was feeling a lot of pressure, and I had a migraine that morning. Plus those were the first solves of the day for me...

2x2 was bad because I +2ed twice and this judge lifted the cube cover before I said I was ready. did get a meh 3.x tho with crazy TPS...

And when I joined the forums I averaged 16.5 or so. Does it really seem that unrealistic to you to average high 11's in 10 months?

Erik averages around 11 seconds, and according to Wikipedia he is "globally known as one of the best speedcubers in the world.". So that much progress in 10 months is a little hard for a lot of people to swallow.

I think we should let it slide. It is not like he did something extremely harmful. People make mistakes and he does not brag about his times being sub x or such.

Also.... Wikipedia said that Tim Howard was the US secretary of defence once.

Erik is sub 10, he probably averaged 11 with cubes from 2010 or before. I'll go find when the statement was added on the Wikipedia article FWIW

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Erik_Akkersdijk&diff=304316204&oldid=303415045 2009

 

[Kit Clement]

I've always thought that the forum awards were something that really should have stopped years ago with all the negativity they seem to bring up. This year's edition only confirms my thoughts.

 

[1973486]

Maybe we should cancel this and hold the forum awards in December

Perhaps we should restart this whole thing come December 1, and completely overhaul the list of awards. Things like, say, best debut, best signature, and best profile picture are great. But things like most deserving of a ban and worst finals performance don't really seem like awards. Aren't these awards supposed to showcase the best of the forum this year? We shouldn't be handing out awards for being controversial, and I say this because biggest controversy is literally one of the "awards" that's listed.

Let's like... not.

If the teenage cubing discussion thread hosts this, there is no doubt that there will be plenty of positivity!

The Older Cubers discussion is more suited to this kind of thing IMO.
