[WR] Yiheng Wang 3.08 single

INSANE! Congrats to Yiheng!

Interesting that Rumin was filming that solve. I assume his family has disbelieved the (admittedly) well-founded accusations against him, but I guess we'll never know.


I remember that Lucas O'Connell once got the NZ 2x2 NR singe but finished last due in the same round owing to a DNF average.
same thing with guanbo with his wr single
 
Bro Yiheng... let some other cubers have some fun.
This is a quote I've heard a lot, not necessarily in this exact formatting, but the general idea is pretty common.

I have to denounce this. While having an undisputed solver who is the best in the world isn't always fun (it can make cubing predictable, and a classic example of total domination in sport is Max Verstappen and Formula 1 or Magnus Carlsen and chess), Yiheng is not the undisputed best solver in the world. Max Park, Tymon, Bofan, Seung Hyuk Nahm and Ruihang (among others) exist.

On a personal note: I am nowhere (and will never be) near as good as Yiheng, and I still find cubing fun.

Case in point: having an undisputed best does not necessarily make cubing boring and Yiheng is not the undisputed best in the world (at least he doesn't have anything on the scale Feliks had and Max has), and we need to accept this.

Got the news as soon as my Fanxin Hudong 3x3 arrived yesterday.
Now I'm seriously considering incinerating all my 3x3 and take up chess...
With Felixs, I can pretend to aim for his "impossible" but human-like PBs.
Now we have aliens like Yiheng, Max and Tymon. And the PRC has a few other tiny alien-monsters-in-waiting...🤨

Doesn’t magnus carlsen literally beat computers though, thats not much better…

Edit: he doesnt beat computers, he’s still super dominant, same deal
