Table?

[Pedro]

But can you use your chest to allign the sides? it is not anybody and it is not your other hand, I know that it is dnf if the cube drops and you catch/touch it with your other hand, but what if you move your chest against it?

C1b) During the solve no other body part or any object other than the surface must touch the puzzle. Penalty: disqualification of the solve.

If you're trying to find loopholes in regulations, you should READ THE REGULATIONS FIRST. They're RIGHT HERE

what sucks about that rule is that i sometimes fumble the cube and it hits me in the chest when i am trying to regain control xD

well, I don't think that's a problem, since you fumbled...what you can't do is use your chest/arm/leg/whatever while solving, ie, doing moves

What if you do a 44 degree turn and fumbled. And the surface does the move for you? Would that be DNF?

do you mean at the end of the solve?

even if it was mid-solve, I think there was no intention of using the table, so I guess it's fine

No, I see this quite often, resulting in a solve or two second penalty

altough not at one-handend , with a 2x2 it is very easy to turn a layer when droping a cube
