Maybe you should change it to notable speedcubers?

Maybe. Then again it's a meaningless discussion since the terms doesn't really mean anything. And no, I don't think everyone agrees on that a speedcuber is someone who's trying cut his/her solve times.

I don't think speedcubers is appropriate here. There are plenty of other accomplishments in cubing where speed isn't the main focus.

I doubt Will Smith had anything to do with the decision to put the cube in the film

(shows where Smith allegedly got the idea from, how he had played it before, says Gardner said the cube incident never really happened, and that Smith brought the idea to the script... not sure it's correct, but doesn't look unlikely, especially considering how eager Smith was to show his cube solving in talk shows again and again)

i lol'd

I didnt see bacon boy on there.

Also, I hate to say it, but Dan Brown has done a lot for our community in a way. Top youtube video for 'How to solve a rubiks cube' 18,000,000+ views. . im sure a lot have learned from this guy in our community. with a spoopy method, but a method none the less.

Also, kian, our young ones need some game in their league! Remember, we're the old ones, and 99.9% of the forum is <18.

I have talked with Chris Gardner about this at the US Open 2007. He told me that the cube incident indeed never happened but that it was an "artistic interpretation" that he was perfectly fine with. Will Smith wanted to be able to actually solve it in the movie and in real life so Tyson taught him. Will Smith was indeed VERY happy to show his skills on Oprah and other places later. And there were plenty of threads on this forum about HOW big that influence of the movie was. The only thing I am not sure about is if it was Will Smith's idea in the first place, but I did get that idea. And if she still has Bieber-fieber I am NOT going to be interested ;)

and not 99.9% is < 18. I would guess 80% would be more realistic (stats anyone?)
and drawing the line at sub 15 (hoping to get legal the next year?????) is a bit too young for me. 21 and older is where I draw the line this year

Wait, what? Who is she? Looks like you forgot to write something there.

Graham Parker (the 26 years guy).

No, we don't even know whether he actually solved the cube.
