Challenge: Solve Without Thumbs

Hi speedcubers,

Speedcubers use their hands, or one hand, or even their feet (which is just wrong) to solve cubes.

But I've been thinking that it would be funny if the WCA included 'W/oT' (without thumbs) in their competitions!

Why don't you give it a try and solve your 3x3 (or whatever else) without using your thumbs. See how it goes and record your times.

And tell me if you think it'll be worth adding to the WCA or not, because one day it might become a trend in the cubing community.

Hahaha!

OK then I guess solving without thumbs won't be super fun, and like kclejeune said judging would be very difficult.

Hehe anyway continue to try without thumbs and record your times!

No thumbs challenge!

So recently i watched a video where people decided to do everyday tasks without using their thumbs, so i thought it would by fun if we tried taping our thumbs to our hands and trying to solve a 3x3!

So the rules are self explanitory, tape your thumbs to the center of your hands and try to solve it without your thumbs, have fun!
