Do I Have The Second Fastest Solve Done on a Rubik's Brand? (7.95 WB2?)

[Dylan K]

I was out today and I found Rubik's newest model 3x3 This one for $4 (it is usually like $10) so I knew I had to get it. After finding a way to tension it (I can provide an explanation if need be) and lubing it, I started doing some solves. I eventually got a sub 10 after 38 solves but I decided that I would try to get an even better solve and then I did something crazy, you won't even believe this. On my 49th solve, I got a sub 8 single on a Rubik's brand! (7.95) It was the easiest scramble I have ever gotten to date (it was only 33 moves) and after the fact, I did the scramble on my main cube, the YS3M, and I got a sub 6 first try... This could've easily been my first sub 7 single or even sub 6 single if I did this on my main but instead, I got a sub 8 on a Rubik's brand. (I'm pretty sad/mad about this lol.) Here is the scramble and the solution, insane. (pain)

Does this mean that I have WB2?

Tymon has multiple 4s on a Rubik's brand including this 4.55:

In this "434 solves in one hour"-World Record, Max Park also uses the Rubiks Speed Cube. (OK, it's the Rubiks SpeedCube, not the Original)

This is an average of 8.25, including inspection

I guess cubers like Tymon and Max are fast, no matter what cube they use ;-)
