These are the fastest 3x3 Rubik's Cube Solves at the start of 2024, how different will the top 20 by the end of the year? Link to rankings: www.worldcubeassociation.org/... #rubikscube #worldrecord #worldrecords
I love how by the end of Yiheng's solves when he gets a sub four there is no more cheering, just some polite clapping because they've gotten so used to it.
It's crazy how now the number 20 solve is sub 4. Back in 2019 when I started a 4 second solve was extremely rare, as the world record average was almost 6 seconds
@nerdyearthling123he’s stating that it’s crazy that the top 20 is sub 4 where in 2019 a sub 4 would of been top 5. they’re literally saying that it’s crazy that the first person on this list is already a sub 4 compared to how it was in 2019
As a reminder or if you don't know, official times are only counted with a precision of .01 even though stack mats go up to .001 (and it's truncated not rounded)
also, since the rubic cube is "random", the color patterns actually really help when the color patterns are already located in good spots. Placements of color blocking from a rubik's cube is different for each player. so if color placement is already good then it can really help in those micro seconds.
Felix's best official time is 4.16, currently ranked 17th, so no 3sec for him. In Aussieland he is still ranked 2nd in 3x3, but 1st in onehanded, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 and 7x7. Very much still a legend.
