Hey Ollie did that the first time I entered MBLD too. I got 2/2 in 16 minutes and he did it in 2 minutes taking 3rd

I know this is kind of random (hence, why I am posting this in this thread), but I made a post on Reddit a few days ago containing links to calculate the number of positions of the nxnxn Rubik's cube and minx^n puzzles, as well as links to other mathematical formulas that I found, cofounded, or obtained from another cuber. I also included a secondary link to conveniently get the power of 10 of any given calculation (since most results are very large numbers).
It's the most comprehensive formula link post I have ever made, and that's why I am mentioning it here for those interested to either bookmark or save that page (just in case).

If you ever plan on taking cubes on a plane, prepare for confused TSA agents

really? I took 5 cubes of various sizes from Australia to New Zealand last week. Didn't even get selected for random check lol. But in all seriousness did the TSA agent really get confused over some rubiks cubes?

I've flown many times through many airports with cubes and only been stopped once. I saw two operatives pointing and discussing what they saw on the scan, before they pulled aside my bag. All they could really see was the six screws as hard white lines on the screen. I think the shape/arrangement was just unfamiliar so they looked out of curiosity, because it was obviously only screws and not something threatening.

Podium for 7x7 at this comp all got NR single and average for their countries. Has this happened before? I'm guessing it probably has at some early comp

I went travelled several times with twisty puzzles (not just cubes) and they were never ever confused or suspicious about it.

Now that everyone here has discovered Patrick Ponce since his numerous 5 second singles, the title of "fastest cuber you've never heard of" falls to Max Park.

Today's wtf monent: I was hand-scrambling a 3x3 while not really paying attention to the cube. When I stopped and looked down, the last move I was making brought the cube back to solved. I knew hand scrambles were bad, but ... what?!?
