Haha, awesome. How did you get his contact info then?

Uff, good question. I think I just googled and found an email address

Thanks for posting, and thanks to Brest for the reconstruction. He's still pretty fast!
For those interested, there's a reconstruction of his 22.95 in 1982 on the very first page of the Reconstruction Thread, along with a brief discussion. Clicky.

Is this really him?

impossible

he competed in 1982, that would make him 457 years old according to my math

Necroposting without a point is not a good thing to do on SS yo.

FWIW
1) Minh was the very first Rubik's cube world champion and world record holder (using a method he homself developed) and therefore should *always* be relevant on this forum

2) the algorithms for the SEARCH function on the forum are kinda *JUNK* and always bring up old hits (usually *not* what I was looking for when I search) and that's probably how Filipe ran into the older thread to start with, and he decided Minh is important enough (integral, even) to the cubing community to revivify the thread (with actual video footage of the man doing a solve to boot)

3) "Laughter is the best medicine" and y'all ought to know by now that Filipe is always wanting to make life happier and more joyous for everybody

@Filipe Teixeira the
Fourthly, that's some rancid math bro the equations I ran through the data cufflinks I mean UPlinks show he couldn't possibly be more than 69 at his age

27x27….

 

[artless1der]

27x27….

it appears to be some kinda 45×45×45
with serious potential for super multi pseudo slotting in multiple dimensions simultaneously
just be careful of the chihuahua
and also not to step in anything

 

[Deleted member 36445]

that's actualy a 12x12x9
or if you count the cubies:
36x36x27
