How many more people do you know that can do 5x5 BLD-has had a success- that isn't in there?

There are quite a few. Certainly it must be at least double that. But it's still not all that many.

But I still think it's ridiculous to complain about this statement from the press, when it's only a little inaccurate. They usually make much bigger mistakes than this.

Exactly did you guys know that being able to do your own taxes and figure out your own phone bill is apparently directly correlated to the ability to solve a rubiks cube?

Good God man! What is this madness of which you speak!?

Actually I thought the coverage was good, positive coverage for cubing. Yes there are some minor factual things they got wrong, but so what? It's great coverage for our hobby! Very cool Chester!

Exactly, and whenever the coverage screws things up, usually it just makes us look like geniuses. Which is good for us . Especially since most of us are, well by my pastors standards.
He told me this the other day

If you want to be a genius then practice what you want to be good at for 15,000 hours.
