Guinness 2010

[Stefan]

Congratulations to Ron! I stumbled upon the "Guinness World Records 2010" book and looked for Rubik's Cube records. According to Guinness, Ron still holds the Rubik's Cube world record with his 9.55 solve from 2007. It's even mentioned twice in the book. There should be a record list listing the most outdated records in that book...

I noticed that too when I saw the book. I was mildly annoyed.

I have the same book and saw that too. I even told Ron that he has a GWR!

Btw, after all these years it's not that surprising anymore.

Options:

1. They want to list it as the longest ever outdated record as you mentioned.

2. They hate Erik and they wait untill someone breaks his 7.08 to post the new WR.

3. Yes, they are that stupid and they couldn't care less.

I'm going to go with 3.

They should keep to making stout. Yum.

Perhaps a Guinness representative must physically witness the record? Maybe it is not outdated if that is the case. But I doubt that -- they should be able to mention the WCA as their source.

1. They want to list it as the longest ever outdated record as you mentioned.

Not quite what I meant. Surely not only their cubing records are outdated. I'd like to know what other things they're really bad at, and where they're worst.

2. They hate Erik and they wait untill someone breaks his 7.08 to post the new WR.

They must hate Edouard and Yu then, too.

 

[Tomk]

Oh, well fone Ronnie! I'm pleased for you.

I saw this last month. I was sort of annoyed >_>

Stefan meant they left out Edouard and Yu. They held the WR between Ron and Erik.

Sure, if you like to feel like you're drinking an ashtray...

There is something wrong with you

EDIT: It's actually understandable since your Guinness will be shipped over to the US... Even Guinness shipped over here isn't that great. Guinness straight from the brewery in Dublin is heaven however.

 

[vcuber13]

its kinda funny because fazs average was 9.21 which is faster

Funny you say that...because the only Guinness I've ever had was at the St. James Gate Brewery in Dublin last year.

Well there's your problem: it's an acquired taste

 

[xbrandationx]

well in order for it to be and official guinness world record, a guinness official has to be present during the solve. right?

I doubt that. I don't think there was a Guinnes official at Ron's 9.55 WR.

Pretty sure there wasn't one for Ron's solve.

BLD Guinness World Record 35.66s by Haiyan Zhuang :
Former record was set by Danyang Chen with 41.16s.
Video: http://www.56.com/u23/v_NDkxMzM3NTY.html
Regulation:
1. A new Rubik's Cube
2. Scrambled for 40 moves.
3. At most 10 Minutes' observation time before starting.
He just broke it 1-2 months ago, if I remembered correctly. I don't know why there was no news on the Guinness' official site, but I'm sure it is the new BLD Guinness World Record. (The Channel CCTV3 corporates with Guinness every year in order to bring convenience for people in China breaking and setting Guinness Record) The Guinness representative was Marco Frigatti.
