Chester Lian cubing on WDTN news

[Carson]

I said nothing about 15-16 tps, they exaggerated that stuff.

I dunno... having seen you stackmat a four cube multi, I can believe this.

 

[DavidWoner]

EDIT: wtf where did Anthony come from?

This should help.

15-16 tps isn't that ridiculous, as long as you're not talking about sustaining it over the course of the solve. Things like .9 J and T perms are about that speed. And while it's certainly not easy to do that, it's not uncommon.

This was actually some really good coverage. There were a few things that were exaggerated a bit, but that's expected, and for the most part the stuff they said was right on the dot. Pretty cool.

8 second average? 15-16 tps? He's amazing...jk, I looked at his profile, he's pretty good! Luckily I still beat him in One-handed

To quote everyone's favorite bigcuber, "that's because I suck in competition."

[KJiptner]

nice interview! You appeared very friendly and explained yourself very well. The coverage wasn't that bad I think. It's normal that they exaggerate stuff a little.

There's no way only 18 people in the world can blindsolve a 5x5

There's no way only 18 people in the world can blindsolve a 5x5

Yeah, but it's obvious what they meant: only 18 people in the world have blindsolved a 5x5x5 in competition. That's what they were referring to; they just communicated a fact incorrectly.

 

[cubemaster13]

I JUDGED THAT RECORD!!!!!!!!!! on the 4x4

 

[Khartaras]

18 people 5x5 BLD? Dayum, the media is seriously uninformed.

Us cubers are so misunderstood...
"That's because no one can possibly think that fast, with all of those mathematical calculations, equations."
Sigh....

If I ever get into an interview, I'm saying the most outrageous things ever.

You memorized all 4,287 ZBLL's.

 

[SuperNerd]

I loved the part where they said he can solve it behind his back, but then WOAH he can solve it BLD!!!!!

Its a big difference you know! When you solve it behind your back your eyes are still open!
