Completely unrelated but I've not been on here in ages (just sort of got back into cubing). Crazy how most commenters have made their account in the last 3 years. Feels old man

Yeah I haven't commented in ages either, this place has changed a lot. Hope this WR is real though

C'mon guys, I don't show any hate against india and I'm not racist, but we all know that A WHOLE lot of scammers and frauds are indians

I'm Indian-American but I'm personally not offended by that statement, and it is very true that many online scammers are from India, but correlation does not mean causation. Just because someone is Indian does not make them a scammer. The percentage of Indians who scam is 0.001% of the population (Probably even less). Almost all Indians are nice people. The same thing can be applied to other stereotypes, such as all muslims being terrorists, even though a very, very small fraction of muslims are actually terrorists, and almost all muslims are quite peaceful and friendly. I hope I changed your mind on this. It doesn't make sense if the reason why someone is suspicious is because of their ethnicity.

God's number is not 20, it's 19.67. For now. 🙂 🙃

I don't think you have a good understanding of God's Number. No need to insult people for not understanding an inaccurate reference hehe

anyway...

I'm not ready to recognise this record as there seems to be a lot of reasons for suspicion. I hope this is resolved one way or the other soon. It would be a shame if this was a big scam but I can't say I'd be totally surprised.
 
Controversy ... 💥

There is nothing to worry about. I play a board game where a guy from France suddenly increased in rating after a long time.

OTOH People got suspicious ...

turned out he had a phone strapped to his leg under light trousers to make moves. Got exposed by the frenchies at WC qualifiers and was banned from playing. 🙂 🙃

My understanding of god's number is ...

20 is the maximum number of moves a scrambled 3x3 cube takes to solve, with optimal moves. 🤔 🙂 🙃 🤩

I'd say that's valid ground for banning...
This is a pretty different situation though.
Instead of holding a steady ranking for a long period of time, this solver went from mediocre results to a world record in a short period of time. Insane progress but with seemingly little experience and knowledge compared to many who are actually at a comparable level. Additionally, this person has more options at their disposal to potentially cheat due to their position in the WCA. This shouldn't automatically be written off as a case of cheating but there does seem to be far more reason to be heavily skeptical than to accept this record with no distrust.

This is correct. And so, knowing that you're aware of God's Number, I'm even further confused by your statement as there's no excusing the seeming nothingness of the comment. Getting a mean under 20 moves doesn't lower God's Number. God's Number is the worst case scenario for a single scramble. If you get a batch of scrambled with multiple of those being under God's Number, this 20 move worst case scenario number bears no relevance to the solve. A 19.67 mean just means that the mean is instantly known to be lower than 20.

And I have no idea what Indians have to do with it because the solver in question is from Sri Lanka. I guess that's next to India
 
People read too much into things people write. God solved the cube in 20 moves - this guy did it in less. Therefore this guy is ... 💥

The real God. 🤔

Personally, I think religion is all bs, but I'm not 🇺🇸.

I agree with the assumed innocent until proven guilty.

You're right, but the culture, traditions, and foods are similar. Also a large ethnic group of Sri Lanka is the Tamil people, who are also in India. India and Sri Lanka are both from the Indian subcontinent. As an analogy, think about like North and South Korea. They both have different governments and slightly different language dialects, but the traditions are somewhat similar.

You're confused. I didn't say god's number was reduced from 20. It's fixed. D'oh!

God's number will stay at 20 until Mary Poppins comes down on an umbrella. 🙃 🤩
