Should the 15 Puzzle be added as a WCA event? (no)

[ryanj92]

Clock and 15 are similar because you can just "move 1 piece without influencing others". Clock is slightly more difficult in this situation because pieces on the other side move. 15 Puzzle is slight more difficult because you cannot move every piece all the time. NEITHER are interesting puzzles.
If we would not have Clock now, we wouldn't add clock
We don't have 15 now, we will not add 15

Isn't everyone getting sick of all these "let's add/remove puzzle X"- threads?
Or are people really tired of the current events and all of these threads are a generic message to the WCA that they should "mix it up a little"?

Maybe instead of cubes we should just have the 'brick' cuboids
The Rubiks fifteen probably has a stronger case for being added than the classic 15 puzzle, it just lacks the support xD

Personally, I think we should add pyra BLD and gigaminx.

Pyra BLD: no, too easily speedblindable.
Gigaminx: no, takes too long.

Back on topic, I don't really care about 15 puzzle and whether it should be added or not.

Pyra BLD: no, too easily speedblindable.
Gigaminx: no, takes too long.

Was totally being sarcastic.

You want events that take over 5 mins to solve?

I only said 8x8. It can take ~5.5 mins IMO.

I only said 8x8.

We can still see that you said "& 9x9".

We can still see that you said "& 9x9".

Then I wasn't thinking clearly.

EDIT: Fixed

On topic: scrambling is annoying!

But beside that YES!

But was Megaminx made by Rubiks? Sorry

If I am not mistaken, these are the copyright owners:
2x2x2,3x3x3,clock= Rubik's
4x4x4,5x5x5,pyraminx,megaminx=Meffert's
6x6x6,7x7x7=V-cube
square-1=no idea.
