Speedcubing History

[eric]

Hey People.
I have a project on the Rubik's Cube at school and I'm having some trouble on finding some websites (other than Wikipedia, we aren't allowed to use that) on the origins of speedcubing and how it changed, etc. etc. For future use by other cubers and for my use it would be great if you put the URLS of some websites and threads on this. Thanks!

Yeah! Reppin' us speedcubers!

Hmmm... maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0poQ8q8RzSg or http://www.puzzlesolver.com/puzzle.php?id=29;page=15.
Maybe the 1982 world championships and Minh Thai's WR. Or http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/cube.html or other method creators.
David Singmaster, God's number is 20, Kociemba scrambler. Just get some stuff! Dude you are a speedcuber! You should know things!

I would look at old stats, look up the people who made the methods, that would get some info for you

Please put some work into it yourself.

Instead of asking us to serve it to you you could just google, check the wike and visit websites of the old pro's.
