Speedsolving wiki: Notable Cubers

solved with memo in less than 50s... sure, if you did that in 1982, now you should be able to solve it BLD sub-30

 

[Mike Hughey]

You might want to make the faking less obvious.

Sorry, but I'm not very good at picking it up. How do you think it's faked? Prearranged scramble?

I will admit that it looks like a very small number of moves; I figure it's less than 60 slice turns, which is pretty shocking (although I didn't count all that carefully).

 

[Stefan]

Possibly you would have said the same comment without seeing the video.

Right ?

Wrong.

Sorry, but I'm not very good at picking it up. How do you think it's faked? Prearranged scramble?

Yeah. Didn't analyze the solve, I'm mostly basing it on the scrambler/"witness". Looking down/away instead of at Gaetan or the cube, lots of E-slice turns (who scrambles like that?), awkward ultra careful turning with thinking pauses, and solving the corners in the middle of the scramble (0:27 in the video). Nah...

But ok, let me change it to "You might want to make it look a lot less suspicious". That's what I'm sure of, the faking is still rather a guess.

Would be curious about the solving method (reconstruction anyone? ), whether it's speedblind (scrambling edges while solving corners) or normal blind...

Btw, Gaetan, I appreciate that you're communicating a bit now, responding meaningfully instead of just repeating old texts and Western videos.

Deja Vu

This thread reminded me of an experience I had at the WC in Toronto in 2003

It looks like a straight CF speedsolve to me - notice that it ends with the M slice. The deliberateness of the scrambler suggests the scramble was pre-memorized.

You can see a few seconds of my video full bld in archive.

I cheat or I made magic or that I lied or told the truth I did not really matter.

The truth is that no archive is see how much I inspired the return of the game

You do not talk with a guy who 3000000 views

Ok then, that guy is a stupid cheater. Happy?

Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position.

As long as it gains interest...

Perhaps out of respect /fear many people don't speak their mind regarding this "propaganda".

Actually, whether someone lies or tells the truth does matter. The number of youtube hits one gets is irrelevant.

Either state that your behind the back solves were rehearsed, or state that they were real. If you state they are real, show up to a competition, and demonstrate your abilities.

It's too bad that so much time is wasted on your behind the back solves, when your actual solving method is so good. Your method is what you should be drawing attention to.

I think Dhanayush deserves a spot. He's now the youngest kid to bld. He's got a couple of NRs too. And here in india, we all love him

 

[Gaétan Guimond]

My method is available on the web. I often come back with my original show because I know he has assisted the return of the cube and kept in the dark. I lost only a few minutes when I place my link video because everything has been done already. because everything is already done. I had a lot of mail before 2003 testimonies.

Yes and very nice exploit

 

[AndrewRocks]

Cubing has traditionally gone by first name. Perhaps that's worth reconsidering someday, but for now, it's certainly consistent with other things we do to go by first name.

That's true.

Well, I need to go practice my Lar's Method since Jessica's Method is getting a bit stale.

 

[theace]

What do you mean?

 

[Godmil]

What do you mean?

I think he was using a meaning of 'exploit' to say something like "very nice accomplishment"

 

[Rune]

I think he was using a meaning of 'exploit' to say something like "very nice accomplishment"

"I" don´t think so.

 

[Anthony]

That's true.

Method names are not the same as how we generally refer to cubers.

 

[theace]

I'm wondering whether he meant "Nice way to exploit the thread to promote a cuber you like" or "The cuber in concern exploited the BLD age thingy in a nice way". Clarifications plox?

EDIT: Just found the video on youtube! Here it is!
