That shows that even the best cubers at the time have to continue practicing in order to keep up with the up and coming cubers they inspire..

And that now he's also not basically the only person in the world with a 6 and 7. Probably helps.

Dan set one of the six WRs this weekend. You misunderstood him. The other set were Magic Single (in Sweden) and Sq-1 avg, Sq-1 single, 3BLD, and MultiBLD (in Beijing).

Looks like facebook may be correct. It appears he won 2x2, also.
Dan Cohen took 6x6x6 and Megaminx, the latter with a NAR for single and average.
Mr. Hashimoto won Magic, Timothy Sun took 4x4 BLD and Mike Hughey won 5x5 BLD, the only one to complete the solve successfully and with a very interesting time of 22:00.00.

mhmm...Rowe's doing pretty well this weekend. Too bad about the missing 2x2. :/

Yeah, solving in 22 minutes and 0 seconds clearly means Mike must have cheated.
WTF?!?!?!

Conspicuous != suspicious
Anyway, I don't think there's anything to it...there's a 1/60 chance of that happening, I wouldn't make anything of it.

no no no. I'm not saying that he cheated. I wouldn't think that of Mike at all.
I'm just saying maybe a timer got accidentally stopped at some point, and they rounded the time because of this.
I trust Mike completely with his BLD abilities. I don't think anyone would say otherwise.
EDIT:
Yes, Tim; I realize my failure. :/
I couldn't think of the 'right' word, so I just used a word that I thought would 'pass.' I guess it didn't.

Conspicuous only means noticeable. I think it certainly qualifies. He did not imply he cheated. Obviously nobody would think that. It's just a funny time.

Ok I admit I took the comment the wrong way, but I don't understand why 22:00 is a strange time. You all do realize that the time is marked incorrectly right? It will be recorded as 22:00 because it was timed with a stopwatch.
I guess I wondered why solving anytime between 22:00.00 and 22:00.99 would be considered "conspicuous".
Apologies.
