World Championship 2007

The average person doesn't understand why, if you can do it sometimes, you miss sometimes. So 100% accuracy is much more impressive to the average person. At least, that's my opinion - I haven't asked enough to know that for sure - I'll admit it's a guess on my part.

How many people did you ask? I'll ask my colleagues next Monday and report the answer here.

I think I'll do the same; results should be interesting.

I will agree with Arnaud - I think 4/4 is better than 7/9.

Then I ask you, too: Even if they both took the same time?

I think if they took the same time, more cubes should win...

But don't you think that the average person in the audience there would have been more impressed with 3/3 than with 5/8? Even if they were the same time? And certainly at least as impressed by 2/2 as by 5/8.

No I don't. I think the average audience person would think 5 cubes is better than 2 or 3.

I agree that average audience would be more impressed with 5...

and...which opinion is more important? the average audience or the "cubing audience"?

A valid question. I'll certainly admit I might be focusing on the interests of the wrong audience.

For those who are going to ask their colleagues - I hope you'll try your best to ask the question in a way that will affect their answers; try to word it in an answer-neutral way. I'll ask around myself and see what I get. Maybe I was guessing completely wrong; I'll be interested in finding out.

sorry to disturb you but this debate seems to go completely outside the topic, isn't it ?
I think that it would be better to discuss about this in a new topic for people interested in multi-blindfold and not interested in the world championship for example....

Hello you guys!

I'm arriving on 4th and leaving on 8th.

I'm staying on the Mercure Hotel.

I have quite a long scale on Munich both on 4th and on 8th. Do you know any speedcuber attending to the WC who lives there?

See you within a few days!

David
