Is inspection time too long or too short in your opinion?

Should we keep it at 15 seconds, or would you prefer a change? Let me know what amount you would want and why (pls don't make it unreasonably long).
I personally would just keep it at 15 seconds just cause it seems like a fair amount, and having to change the rule would be a hassle and potentially discount all other wr's. Mby you could get more/less depending on the cube? 🤔

keep it at 15 seconds
i do 5 seconds usually, sometimes 8 though
 
Bratha the only reason people would need to check the cube for a long time is for beginners who want to get good at doing cross fast but for anyone who wants to go to competitions I dont think any more than 15 seconds or less is going to do anything just keep it at 15 seconds helps people think and plan with enough time some people even take less but anything more bratha I just dont think

true, no point of reducing
Reduce it to 5 seconds for 3, and 4 seconds for big cubes.
i dont think its worth reducing that low, let alone depending on the event


i think the good point is fast cubers like yiheng or xuanyi takes alot of more time than the average

Also, Big cubes should probably have more inspection.
skill issue
 
Bro what do you mean 5 seconds for 3×3 and less for bigger cubes anyway yea I dont really mind the 5 seconds for 3×3 if its really competitive and 4 seconds for big cubew is kinda too low bro
Yes. Big cubes are easier than small cubes
oy! I wouldn't ever want it under 10 seconds.
Ok. Cheater😜💀

BIG CUBES ARE TOO EASY! I AVERAGE 2-5 INSPECTION BRUHHHH

no.

15 seconds is perfect. It gives just enough time to plan cross+x while not letting the person abuse the inspection time too much. 5 seconds is WAY too low. Even intermediate cubers use 5+ seconds. I feel like inspection time shouldn’t be touched.


Yes. Big cubes are easier than small cubes
you don’t need more or less than 15 seconds for big cubes either.
Centers. They are still super scrambled but easier to track because there are more of them on one face. The bigger,
the better.😎
Yep. I just pulled my skill off on ya.
Enjoy it.
ok then, plan all 6 centers in inspection

Alright lets settle this

anyway why can i speak inside these replies
no point of that solution
if you want to use 10 seconds, just use 10 seconds
 
you focus on less pieces
So true.

It is a response feature. Look here...
Jared, Chill bro.
he says this. I can change it to this...
Duuuuhhhhhhh...........
See? But we are cool here.
I mean, yes, but that doesn't make the whole thing easier.
But there is more pieces. I'm confused.
You are not a big cuber.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma...
Once you know how to do it and how to do it well you will see what I mean by small cubes are crazy🙂
