My child told me there was controversy at a Rubik's Cubes competition where somebody hit the stat button with their wrist instead of a finger. Did this happen, when did it happen?

I assume they're referring to this recent controversy 🙂
Xuanyi really likes H2H format, but this kind of unfairness is more than he can handle.

Watched it like 3 times. What time was the infraction?

@doctorwhom Oh sorry! I thought that was the video I had seen before where it specifically showed all the infractions, but looking back, it wasn't the right one and I can't find the one I was thinking of. If you go to the channel page to the posts you can see a post about it with all the timestamps: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxSTMqk5j5ADuawduZiiy6G_lZHNIF2AOs

Here's a different video that talks about the situation, too:

This is an issue in this sport (& it is a sport). Like Olympic level swimming they measure the width of the pool in each lane, and allow ties because of the difference. Doesn't matter if I'm racing by buddy, but at the highest lever it matters.

Thanks!
