Rainbow Cube though it's unclear if it was officially added or just run once and then never done again. I've never been able to find exactly when it was held just know that it was.

Back to the serious. I've actually been enjoying this thread and folks posting interesting info.

New(ish) info to me. Commutators must contain an even number of turns in order qualify as a commutator. Sorta kinda knew that, just never really thought about it lol.

Also, since the 3x3x3 can always be solved in at least 20 WCA moves or less, that means that any of the 43 quintillion possible states of the puzzle can also be reached in 20 WCA moves or less.
Honestly that's a phenomenal fact when you think about. You can mess that thing up the most with 20 turns.

Keep solving everybody! Sending positive vibes to all of you!

Fun Fact: @5th is actually the 7th member of Speedsolving.com

5th actually used to be the 6th before ID 3 got deleted, and ID 2 is @Lucas Garron who joined a year later, not sure why he has the 2nd ID (but that means 5th actually is 5th non-deleted member)

That dates back to when this site was on `rubiks.has.it`: https://www.speedsolving.com/members/lucas-garron.2/#profile-post-8269

I found this forum via YouTube stats while PJK was setting it up, and created the first non-founder account, before the accounts from the old rubiks.has.it forum were moved here.

Perhaps @pjk knows more, but if you exclude his and my account then the migrated accounts start at #3 and the numbers line up from there.
