Hello everyone! I don’t know why Clock is so hated? Can you guys please tell me why you hate clock so much, I love clock!
hardware is terrible
Love the way that everyone says the hardware is terrible...which if set up right and magnetized it really great. Granted the LingoAo clock out of the box is bad and the pins are not great (if at all), but there are mods that can be done to improve it and make it great. It is to some degree like when the Qiyi Sq1 came out, no one really liked it as much due to the core stripping, but after some mods were done on it, it worked great.1) The hardware is a joke
It can be great, yes. But most people don't want to do all of the work just to be able to use it reliably. I set mine up (not mag yet) and I love it, but it's still near unusable ootb.Love the way that everyone says the hardware is terrible...which if set up right and magnetized it really great.

Personally, I really enjoy Clock and hope that it stays for a while as an official event.
That is (to some degree) sadly the truth about a lot of things in life, but I do not necessarily agree with it. If someone does not want to do the work to set something up (or to improve it) then they have not given whatever it is a fair chance (in this case Clock). If for instance no one ever did anything with the Sq1 then they could be saying the same thing that is being said about Clock, but because someone did explore mods and made it great a lot of people love it.But most people don't want to do all of the work just to be able to use it reliably
I love clock. Ever since I got magnets and magnetized my clock, it’s been my favorite event, and I find it just so much fun to solve. If you want to be serious, just get e magnetic clock, it will change your life. After around 2 1/2 months of being able to solve the event sub-20, I am averaging around 8 seconds on stackmat and only improving!Hello everyone! I don’t know why Clock is so hated?

twist
verb (used with object)
to combine, as two or more strands or threads, by winding together; intertwine.
to form by or as if by winding strands together:Several fibers were used to twist the rope.
By that definition, clock is a twisty puzzle. So either way it fits in.Google would like to disagree.
Twist
1. form into a bent, curling, or distorted shape.
2. cause to rotate around something that remains stationary; turn.
Clock has its place, but I don't think that place is in WCA competitions.
Very early on, before events were really solidified and codified, there were some other events that rather quickly disappeared.I may be wrong, but I thought the only puzzle that to date had been removed from the WCA lineup is Magic, and part of the logic for removing it was that it’s not really a puzzle. Removing Feet or discussing removing Clock sets a dangerous precedent of only recognizing records from puzzles that happen to be popular at the time. Clock is a puzzle, although not one I enjoy a lot. The time to discuss its inclusion in the WCA was when it was first included.
What events? I know Rainbow was one?Very early on, before events were really solidified and codified, there were some other events that rather quickly disappeared.
I managed to find this in the wayback machine:What events? I know Rainbow was one?
Yes, exactly.Siamese? Like fused cubes?
