Another one I came across at some point.

The U U U' U' (etc) moves are a little painful to watch, but...

"Teacher Ron McDevitt gives all his students a shot at extra credit if they can beat the cube, and he adds more points for faster times." I is jealous

That looked almost like a set up scramble...Based on the 4 look LL and all the pauses, it would seem unlikely that this kid got a 23...

I bet he was just too lazy to actually explain it.

I was interviewed and in my local paper recently!

 

[TheNextFeliks]

I like how the people interviewed are not even sub-20.

Alternatively, he may have actually said algorithms and the news translated that to mean "that-mathy-sounding-stuff-that-we-have-no-idea-what-it-is-so-let's-call-it-math"

Lol, yeah.

I am very slow.

This kind of article is not aimed at speedcubers. To 99% (if not 100%) of the readers, solving a cube in 26 seconds already looks like a great accomplishment.

DYK that Tyson taught Will Smith, just for the pursuit of happyness?

"A Rubik's Cube [...] forces you to go slowly"

Yeeeaaah... not sure about that.

You raise money to go to Canberra because in the last two years you haven't been able to participate in a competition? Did you move to Melbourne just recently? There have been competitions there about every three months.

Thanks for taking the time to read the article.

The reason that I haven't gone to any competitions in Melbourne is because I only recently found out that you don't have to be super fast to compete. Previously I thought you had to be like sub 20, but then I found out it doesn't matter what time you average. And when I found that out I was super-eager to go to a competition, and the only one that I found around my part of Australia (Melbourne) was Australian Nationals.

Thanks for asking

P.S. (I was also really excited when I found out Feliks is going).
