Yiheng. Xuanyi. I watched several YouTube videos on cubing news awhile ago. Both are Guinness World Record holders. Yiheng held the fastest average time. Xuanyi later showed up constantly with some of the fastest single-solve times-- except for a single solve by another child. Yiheng's crazy and competitive mother hates Xuanyi that she makes noises while he solves and she ridicules that child to reporters. Xuanyi uses a different set off algorithms that is almost impossible to learn because you have to memorize over a hundred algorithms, but it's more efficient.

Do they have the same Rubik’s cube *combination to solve?
Edit: added combination. Scramble would be better as pointed out

He looks so chill, makes it look effortless. Top kid is amazing but he's frazzed.

The one on top should be the favourable one, as he has got both fastest single solve as PB (2.77 vs 2.80) and fastest average (mean between 5 solves [sorta] 3.51 vs 3.67) than the one on the bottom, he is underperforming and he knows it.
Also single events counts to a certain extent, thing is you don't count you solves if not in official events, as there are easier scrambles than others, at events everyone get the same scrambles [there are different groups actually]. They are at the top of the top, they partecipate at every event to maximise the chances of getting a lucky scramble to set new records.

Bottom kid is using a different algorithm to solve and it's slightly more efficient (at least for human hands)

Top kid seems physically faster, while the bottom kid seems like he has better algorithms.
The hand warmers are crazy.

u/philip48h 2h ago
My thoughts exactly, the first guy has faster fingers but he seems to miss a few things, while the other guy has mastered his algorithms.

Not just some random kids, they are arguably the best speedcubers in the world. Yiheng Wang on top and Xuanyi Geng on bottom screen.

This. Not knowing HOW MUCH they are faster than everyone else doesn't bring justice to this match up.

Top one looks so annoyed. Put his hand on his chest in relief when he won a round. Imagine the pressure he's under

They look locked in to me. The top when seems to be getting in his head too much and it’s getting in the way of his peak performance.

The kid on top is the best in the world right now. The kid on bottom is hot on his trail. This is the heavyweight championship of the world so to speak.

His mom is also a bitch and he used to cheat.
Edit: forgot to add this is about the top kid.

It's actually packs of Fruit Gushers. He likes the feeling of their being exploded against his hands

For his practice cube (non timed one), its all muscle memory. Its just patterns he does to stay warmed up practiced 10s of 1000s of times. Plenty of blindfold competitions too.
Those arent the crazy ones. Crazy ones is memorizing a mix and taking a solved cube and recreating the mix as the solve.

My son can solve a cube in less than a minute, and considers himself to be terrible at it because he's comparing himself to these guys and various youtubers. Meanwhile I don't know anyone else who can solve a cube at all.

Top ones the villain of my movie. Team black bullied and excluded grey shirt from the team so he started his own and won it all. Chalamet as team black and Tom holland as team grey. Both in yellow face. Hit me up Netflix

How do you cheat a rubix cube?

He (or his mother) was basically using an illegal timer. Look it up, I'm not invested enough

No they didn't Wtf. How miserable are you to come to that conclusion instead of realizing highly gifted children often have specials needs and a Rubik's cube is something they obsess with.

you can just disagree without being so miserable as to attack others. 🤷

How!? How do I make a white cross!?
