ChatGPT generated 3x3x3 solution method

[Anthony]

Chris Hardwick, Mike Hughey and Dan Harris in a Speedsolving thread in 2026 - I’m absolutely here for it.

Almost all of you reading this weren’t cubing during their primes (many not even born)… So, I’ll say this (without fully dating myself or them) - it’s worth going down the rabbit hole of their contributions and accomplishments.

A few resources:

2) If you do not have the puzzle/item/etc. that the challenge requests on your person, and you would like to participate, then you must make every reasonable effort to do the challenge at your very FIRST available opportunity.

The whole solve I was waiting for something unexpected to happen because I assumed this was a fabricated scramble. But then it didn’t and it ruined the flow of my solve because nothing kept happening and I was kind of disappointed it was a run-of-the-mill solve.

Ugh, that ALWAYS happens to me on my good solves, I keep second guessing myself!
