Where will Worlds be livestreamed next week?

Once we get all the technology hooked up probably tomorrow then we'll be sure to publish a livestream link.

Asia has not hosted since 2011, so that may be a possibility. I think that South Africa - and countries such as Tunisia in Africa - are unlikely, given the small(er) amount of cubers there. I think that Oceania may be a possibility. As it has produced 2 cubers who are incredibly influential in todays community (Feliks and Jay), and has still not hosted a worlds, it might happen. I know that it is quite far away from... well everything else, but who knows?

That' called foreshadowing

I am expecting a few WRs. Max Park will probably get one or two. I want to see multi-blind record broken as well. One-handed needs to be broken. It has been too long.

How are things in Melbourne? Predictions?

I see Jon Haidt is having an event at the same convention center - cool.

From Tim on FB:

[Sergey]

So, at day 2 we have 5 WRs: singles for the 4BLD, 5BLD, Skewb and 7x7 and mean for the 7x7. And an uncounted NRs.

World Records from day 2:

• Stanley Chapel 2:38.77 5x5 Blindfolded single
• Andrew Huang 0.93 Skewb single
• Max Park 1:44.02 7x7 single and 1:50.10 average

Some finished events:

• Yunhao Lou Clock World Champion
• Aiden Bartlett Square-1 World Champion
• Max Park 7x7 World Champion

What's the probability that Max will win 3-7? Erik says 50/50 in the stream.

Max’s chance of being world champion in 3 are 50/50. He has really tight competition from Feliks, Patrick, and Tymon, as well as multiple other fast cubers. So to answer your above question, I agree with Erik.

Germany 1 (Sebastian Weyer, Philipp Weyer and Cornelius Dieckmann) won Rubik’s Nations Cup. Congrats!
