This is quite honestly one of the worst cubing articles I have ever seen.
There was a comment on this article that somebody (Daniel Karnaukh, not sure if this is you DG?) made that deserves to see the light of day:
This is the most ridiculous article about this event I've ever seen. It has so many falsities that I burst out laughing reading this horrible excuse of an article. First of all, the title. It is an understatement to say that Collin solved the cube in under 1 minute. He solved it in 5.25 seconds, and consistently solves it in under 10 seconds, not a minute. Now for the first sentence of the article, which already is wrong: "The Rubik’s Cube…one of life’s great mysteries to some, but not to one young boy." There are tens of thousands of people that know how to solve a Rubik's Cube, Collin is far from the only one.
And again, not under a minute, more like under 6 seconds. Now for the first paragraph. The very first words in this paragraph had me laughing uncontrollably. A math class? This is a cubing competition, an event where many people (who have learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube) compete to solve a Rubik's Cube as fast as they can. I was even there. What kind of idiot are you to assume that this is a math class? First of all, there are people ranging from 10 years old to fully grown adults in this room, which is NOT what a math class is consisted of. Also, what kind of math class takes place in a cafeteria? And lastly, math classes do not have professional timers in the middle of the room, with people filming them! For the last time, this is a CUBING COMPETITION. Moving on to the second paragraph. These are NOT his classmates, these are cubers, people in the cubing community who know how to solve a Rubik's Cube, me being one of them. Not his classmates. In fact, these cubers have travelled up to several hours to be at that competition, so they can't be his classmates. And when he solves the cube, yes, they were excited, but nowhere in the video does anybody say "Oh my gosh". Again, these people cannot possibly be his classmates. Maybe if you did your research, you would actually right an accurate description of what REALLY happened. Sometimes I wonder what this world has come to, where news article writers don't even take more than 2 seconds to think about what they're writing. I could honestly bang my head on my keyboard a few times and write a better article than this.
