@coryniday Ok, a couple of things. First, while he is no question a world class solver (world record holder for 4BLD AND 5BLD and double digit rank in many events) "World Champion" feels a bit of an exaggerated misnomer. Second, is he one of the *very* few people (last I heard only one person has) to memorize a 1LLL algorithm set? If not, there is no way he's "remembering and applying thousands of algorithms to solve the Rubik's Cube", closer to 6-800 tops. Otherwise, nice article.
