The provided me with a full month's dose of cringing.
"Gavin's knowledge of math helps him solve the Rubik's Cube by using an algorithm."
"Gavin will be heading to San Antonio in May to compete against other Rubik's Cube mathematicians from around the world."
Also they constantly refer to him being able to solve the cube in 12 seconds, yet in the video he clearly doesn't look like someone who is that fast.
I found this under the 80s tv segment on the cnn app. I don't know if it will or has been in one of the eighties episodes yet though :
Rebirth of the Rubik's Cube

And, at 40 seconds, it looks like there is a pyraminx and some other puzzle on the shelfCool appearance of the cube in the new trailer for Snowden
This is the most ridicoulous thing I have ever seen. 12.37 seconds and doesn't even use fingertricks and uses a rubiks brand. Lmaohttp://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/abilene-boy-heads-to-rubiks-cube-competition

The 12.37 was for pyra.This is the most ridicoulous thing I have ever seen. 12.37 seconds and doesn't even use fingertricks and uses a rubiks brand. Lmao
no...The 12.37 was for pyra.
They just said the wrong puzzle. Or agree you going to argue he averages 12 seconds.no...

Last Thursday I was invited to a TV show. They didn't give me any details. All I knew was that I was going to get in one car and I would be asked to solve the cube there. They paid my tickets to São Paulo and on the next day I got there.
In São Paulo, I got in a van and then they took me to a place in Paulista Avenue where I was supposed to wait for a taxi to pick me up. I had no idea what was going on and I didn't even know what TV show it was going to be for.
So, a taxi showed up and I got in. A famous Brazilian TV host was driving it. On the back seat, there were other three Brazilian celebrities (one singer, one actress/dancer and one music producer). Although I was already expecting to see a celebrity there, I had no idea who it was going to be... and I was also expecting it to be only one person, not four! So I was really surprised and it will probably look funny on TV.
The host asked me how fast I could solve the cube and I told him I could do it in 15s, and then I solved it in 13s, which seemed to impress them a lot. He asked me some random questions about what I did for living and how I got into cubing, and when I mentioned I could do it blindfolded he got really interested and asked me to do a BLD solve. I told him that I had to memorize the cube first in a little less than 1 minute. The music producer scrambled the cube and then they all started to sing out loud some random songs while I was memorizing. When I told them I was ready, the actress/dancer covered my eyes with her hands and I got a successful solve.
The solve was a 12/6' in Noah's notation and I think I only had one pause before the last commutator. Execution was probably around 28 seconds.
It hasn't aired yet. They said it will probably air on May 21st.
It actually makes me so angry.Fake but cool I guess
Both the second solve on stage and the solve afterwards ended in H-perm. What?!It actually makes me so angry.
