    Since we published this video, the record has been broken many times and is now more than a second lower than Collin's time. How low can it go? Follow along here: www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/e.php?eventId=333®ionId=&years=&show=100%2BPersons&single=Single

    This video was so accurate about the world record and speedcubing itself that I got shivers down my spine. I'm so glad that some people actually do their research and put the effort into interviewing Collin to make an article as golden as this one. The video portrays speedcubing perfectly, but it explains it so that even people who aren't in this community can learn all about it. Hats off to you. :)

      2:18 How is that accurate? SpeedTwistyPuzzlers don’t buy “special cubes” Also, her Shengshou 3x3x3 can also be lubed and tensioned. However, it is pretty good though, but they called OLL & PLL Algorithms 1 & 2. They could’ve at least said have all of the top layer pieces facing up, or orientation, and then put them in the right place with another algorithm, which permutes them.

    Pleeeease teach professional newscasters and reporters your ways! They never do their research properly on cubing and always end up twisting the person they interviewed's words in such a way that they don't even mean the same thing anymore. They make the same, classic, non-cuberish comments and mistakes. In this video, cubing is actually put in the light all of us cubers wanted it to be put in. Not the stupid "This *impossible* challenge has been mastered by one young boy." Impossible? Don't lie to the entire country. "He says math is the key to success." No he didn't! You just think that's true. Thank you, thank you so much for making a long overdue good news report on this topic. The community cannot thank you enough.

      GR33D-E : No I do not kid. EVER. In fact based on the information you just provided, it seems quite irresponsible for the song-writer to not provide the complete information, and thus keep his/her listeners in dark, making them forever ponder why the percentages add up to 200%, and whether these percentages are by weight or by volume. In fact now I have even started worrying that this data might have been fabricated. Were these numbers based on empirical evidence? What was the size of the study group? Was there a control group? What was the p-value? Were these results peer-reviewed? So many questions, but no answer in sight!!

    Easily the best report I've ever seen on the Rubik's Cube. Every other report is, like, "HE'S DONE IT! DO IT AGAIN!" and they have no information. This one is informative, a bit breaking of the 4th wall, (which is one of my favorite things EVER.) realistic, entertaining, and well done. I hate watching reports on Rubik's Cubes and I was very tempted to discard this video and never watch it, but the fact that I didn't know Collin was 15 (lmao) got my attention, so I clicked.

    Really not as hard as it seems. I picked one up 2 days ago because I saw my friend solve one in 45 seconds and I wanted to be like him. I solved it (with help from a CZcams video) yesterday and with hours of practice yesterday and today I can now solve it in 2 minutes. As long as you practice and memorize the simple algorithms, it's not nearly as hard as some say it is.

Lately, a lot of other people have been getting into it, though they quit after watching super fast guys because they don't think they'll ever be that fast. I remember my beginning times. It hurt my hands. 2 and a half minutes. Then I got a speedcube. 1 minute. Then I learned CFOP. 45 seconds. 25 seconds. 20 seconds. (Don't ask me how I skipped 30 seconds. I just did.) Right now, after 11 months of cubing, I average about 17-18 seconds. My record average is 14.79 seconds. My personal best solve is a 10.57 (formerly a 10.69 for about 2 months) I'm working on averaging sub-15. Then I'll work on averaging sub-12. Then sub-10. Then sub-9 and so on.
