Your Thoughts on Fake Rubik's Cube Solves

[canadiancuber]

the only fake solves i get frustrated about are when they scramble it with 1 move, solve it, and keep saying YEAH I SOLVED IT.

I still don't get how Kirjava can use profanity and it gets through.

Because it's Kirjava.

Sorry guys but I really can't help feeling annoyed about what is written in this thread.
It's like you all feel personally attacked by some kid who posted some rubbish on Facebook and youtube.

He is damaging the image of our sport.

Way to overfuᴄking exaggerate, Morten.

EDIT: It just did. How the ****?

You don't ᴄ it?

There's also thecomputernerd01 who says he has the world record for the Rubik's Cube with a time of 28.65 seconds which is more than 4 times the actual world record. He also has a video on his channel of him getting the time and you could obviously tell it was fake.

Dude,
I really want to punch that kid in the nose. Such ignorance and self-centering. I hate people like that in general.


Also, when they're well executed, doesn't that make it worse, as people will actually believe he/she did deserve to earn that time? I was the only one (As far as I know) who saw through this one ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRMwa7IaPvA

That's the guy and video I hate the most.

I think anyone who makes a fake cube video should be locked in jail for the rest of their life without anything but soggy cereal to eat.

Hmm... my sister loves soggy corn flakes :rolleyes:

Every day of your life you have the choice to be either enraged by or laugh at the incompetence of others. How you handle the inevitable stupidity of the internet is up to you.

Oh, man.. fake solves?! My face goes -_- when I see them.

I'm sure that he's well aware that 28 seconds isn't the world record. He just made that video for comedy, there's no need to hate him. If you watch some of his other videos, like his song parodies, you'll see that he's a pretty funny guy.

I once tried to compile a list of fake Rubik's Cube videos on YouTube. I found about 50 obvious fakes before I got tired of making the list, but there were definitely still more. This was over two years ago. :rolleyes:

Interestingly, fakes were pretty easy to tell apart from real solves. I think I only had doubts on two or so.

Anyhow, people who make fake/misleading Rubik's Cube videos lose almost all their respect from me. Depends how strong the intent to deceive was, since that determines the negative impact on legitimate cubers.

[Dene]

More evidence for the stupid-violent correlation.

There are fake videos for pretty much every hobby on YouTube. Those of you who are getting so butthurt by some fake cubing videos like it's an anomaly ought to expand your horizons a bit. After you've seen em all you learn to ignore them and not take it so personally.

:rolleyes:

Notice I call them Fake in the title (<FONT SIZE=7>, I mean it). I'm not pretending anything with those videos that's not straightforward from the page.

 

[gavnasty]

I think anyone who makes a fake Rubik's cube video is cool. I want to buy them all dinner.

 

[Toquinha1977]

I just ignore 'em, unless they're done with a specific purpose in mind, such as the reversed Mythbusters solve (blindfold and with feet) and Michel Gondry's reversed foot solve.

I remember one video that purported to be a record beater, but all the guy did was just scramble the cube MORE and stopped the timer. That one actually made me laugh a bit.

I'm pretty sure he meant that as a joke.
UNLESS, you're doing a double irony...
