lol, i think so. John Smith is a very common disguise name, John is a very common first name, same as smith for a last name. Or he's faking an identity, you never know
I would be interested.Is anyone interested in participating in a BLD Race to sub-x thread? The most recent one I could find was back in 2018.
Yeah go for it, I’m in.Is anyone interested in participating in a BLD Race to sub-x thread? The most recent one I could find was back in 2018.

Okay! I'll try to start it as soon as I can!Yeah go for it, I’m in.
Self-promotion incoming:Quick question about competitions:
I've seen quite a lot of videos of competitions, and the solve routine seems to go like this: cube is scrambled out of view of the solver and then placed under the box shield. The box is removed and the inspection timer starts (or does something else trigger the timer start?). The solver picks up the cube and inspects it. They put it back down and place their hands on the stackmat pads. A couple seconds later they take their hands off the pads and begin their solve. At the end of their solve they drop the cube and smack the pads to stop the timer.
So my question is this: after putting the cube down from inspection and placing hands on the stackmat pads, is the inspection timer still counting down?
The judge will ask you if you are ready to begin inspection. You have up to a minute to signal that you are ready. When you say you're ready, the judge will start a stopwatch and take the cover off of the cube simultaneously. As soon as the timer for the solve has begun(you've placed your hands on the stackmat and then taken them off), the judge will stop the stopwatch.Quick question about competitions:

They are the bane of my cubing!does anyone else get good/average times one day and then for two to three days after that they get bad times?
I see there is now one posted. The link...Who will be the first to post a 19x19 solve video?![]()
Hey all! I'm just now returning to cubing after about a 3-1/2 year hiatus (College sure is a time-eater). What are the biggest things that have been happening in the cubing world in the past few years that I should know about?
More of accidental Petrus, wr is now 3.47, leo is getting consistent 4s with a lot of 3s. Ya boi Feliks now holds YTUWR with a 3.33, and yeahPetrus was used to break the current world record, competitions don’t exist and Tao Yu learnt ZBLL in 6 weeks.
I meant YTUWR, I'll edit the postDefinitely accidental but still Petrus.
I'm pretty sure Patrick Ponce has a 2.99, but 3.33 definitely isn't UWR.
