What puzzle do you think the WCA should add next?

[Erik]

A few big problems I see here is that:
Who gets the time put onto there WCA profile?

Both. Optionally you could make 2 lists (caller/solver). This is just a matter of choice, several options would work.

and How are we going to set it up so that the team BLD won't affect the solves of other teams.?

1. As long as you are not shouting: OMG, THE CROSS IS ONLY R D2, you should be fine. Also: shouting so loud others can hear it is against the regs, since it's distracting other people solving.
2. Personally I find calling out moves very inefficient, you'd have to know other people's codes to know what's going on.

The definition of a cube is a Polyhedron(3d shape) that is composed of 6 square faces with 12 edges and 8 corners. So technically it's a cube by the definition I gave but does not have flat faces like the SS 7x7 does.

Fine. Now please define "square".

The edges are not straight, therefore the faces are not sqaure.

A square is a 2d shape with 4 equal length sides and has 4 90 degree angled corners.

No that's actually a rectangle. But a square as all 4 equal length sides. Like on a 57mm 3x3 the face square has a 57mm edge length on all 4 sides.

V Cube 7 faces are not square.

V-cube 7 faces do not have 90 degree angled corners. Look closer.

V Cube 7 faces are not square.

But it's still in a Cube like shape right?

It's like saying that the Petaminx it not a Dodecahedron Shaped puzzle. It has 12 Pentagonal faces and 12 colors but it's pillowed like the V-cube 7. http://speedcubes.ru/published/publ...SC/products_pictures/MF8 Petaminx 2fp_enl.jpg

One minute we're discussing the intellectual value of twisty-puzzles, the next we're arguing about what a square is.

I love this community

Well get use to it cause this type of thing happens all the time.

[Deleted member 19792]

Oh God no.

Just the normal kilominx. The only problem is that you can't find them anywhere.

clock, pyraminx and megaminx are not cubes.

>reasonably accurate
Also, they're certainly twisty puzzles.

These have NEVER, EVER been an issue.

Very soon, I'll either bump an old Team BLD thread or make a new one to reopen discussion about how to deal with the "problems" Team BLD has.

Talking too loudly: 2g
Spectating at a close enough distance: 7b
Doubled competitor counts for more rounds: 9m (Exception: For Team Blindfolded Solving, these competitor counts are doubled.)

Actually Mefferts still sells the Flowerminx(Kilominx)
