Rule system

The "Big Bang" program group attached great importance to Zhao Yi's record challenge. They not only invited the judges from Guinness China Agency, but also two notaries from government and government departments.

In addition, there is a witness from abroad.

Beronlt-Kovalchik, Polish professional Rubik's Cube blind twister.

His third-order Rubik's Cube Blind Twist single time ranked second in the world, the fourth-order Rubik's Cube Blind Twist single time ranked 14th in the world, and the fifth-order Rubik's Cube blind twist single time ranked 21st.

At the same time, he maintained the record of'the world's number one blind twist for many times', and successfully recovered all 41 third-order Rubik's cubes blind twist in 54 minutes and 14 seconds.

Kovalchik was very curious about Zhao Yi, he was invited to participate in the "Big Bang" column, but he did not expect to come to witness the challenge of the Rubik's Cube blind twist record.

While shaking hands with Zhao Yi politely, he focused on Zhao Yi's hand and asked a little strangely, "Don't you play Rubik's Cube often?"

His English has a strong local accent.

Zhao Yi was a little uncomfortable, but he understood the meaning, nodded and smiled, "I rarely play Rubik's Cube."

"Then why do you want to challenge the record?" Kovalchik's words mean that you rarely play Rubik's Cube, and you are a little overwhelmed to challenge the Rubik's Cube record.

"because."

Zhao Yi said, pointing his head with his fingers.

Kovalchik didn't understand, he looked around with a little disdain, thinking that the challenge scene was the show scene.

"Big Bang" is a variety show, filled with the name of "brain", the promotion is a scientific program, in essence, many projects and rules are self-created, and the rules of the Rubik's Cube are not perfect.

In order to increase the ratings of this kind of variety show, it is understandable to make some gimmicks. Maybe the other party is more famous, and the record failure can also help the show attract traffic.

"It must be so!"

Seeing the cheerleading group of students in the distance, Kovalchik's disdain grew stronger.

Zhao Yi just said a few words to Kovalchik, and sat in the challenge position. Hearing the Guinness judges talk about the rules, he drank his mouth and moved his fingers to prepare.

Then he made an'ok' gesture to indicate that he was ready.

The meeting room was quiet.

The most important thing in Rubik's Cube Blind Twist is memory. The noisy environment will greatly affect the players' performance.

The judge handed a blindfold and asked Zhao Yi to wear it on his forehead, "After you pull off the blindfold, the timing will begin."

"it is good."

Kovalchik walked over with the restored Rubik's cube, and then randomly disrupted under the gaze of the judges.

After the Rubik's Cube was disrupted, it was asked by two notaries to pass it. They input the Rubik's Cube state into the computer, and immediately got the minimum number of steps to restore the Rubik's Cube-16.

"16, can you?"

The reviewer looked at Zhao Yi.

In the past, the record challenge of the Rubik’s Cube can start when it is determined that the scramble is in compliance with the rules. After having the Rubik’s Cube calculator, there is an embarrassing situation. There are few minimum steps to calculate, which may make people feel that the players are lucky, and the Rubik’s Cube Association For the time being, it has not been determined what the specific minimum steps to solve the Rubik's Cube used in the competition are.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Too little, preferably twenty times."

"you sure?"

"Correct!"

Now Kovalchik is a little tired.

He continued to scramble the Rubik's Cube, and the result of inputting it several times was 18 and 19. After he scrambled again, he heard that the notary said to him in English, "He is making this calculator, so he is really making trouble for himself. "

"what?"

"Don't you know? Zhao Yi made the Rubik's Cube calculator." The notary explained, pointing at Zhao Yi.

Kovalchik looked at Zhao Yi in surprise.

Zhao Yi created the Rubik's Cube calculator, which has aroused some discussions in the academic world, but it is still in the Rubik's Cube world to say that it is famous.

Yi-Zhao.

This name is known in the world of Rubik's Cube, because the Rubik's Cube calculator he made has a huge impact on the competition of the third-order Rubik's Cube. Almost every Rubik's Cube enthusiast will download a Rubik's Cube calculator.

Kovalchik was also one of them. He felt distressed when he thought about paying five dollars.

That was the first time he paid for downloading software.

"So it is!"

"He made the Rubik's Cube calculator, so the program team asked him to challenge the record. The process is not important at all. As long as he challenges it, it will be a gimmick!"

Kovalchik'understood' the arrangement of the program group.

Of course.

He is not optimistic about Zhao Yi's challenge at all.

A show-style challenge has no possibility of success.

The Rubik's Cube can only be played by professional players. The hand speed of amateur players is a big problem, and the requirements for blindfold are higher. No matter how long it takes, it is great to be able to complete the project.

Kovalchik tried a dozen times, and the number on the Rubik's Cube computer was displayed as 20.

The Rubik's Cube was handed over to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi carefully looked at the six sides of the Rubik's Cube, and then put it on the table to indicate that he could start.

The reviewer asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

Kovalchik was even more surprised than the judges. He had to look at it for a while each time to remember the colors of all sides.

The other party spent several times less time than him!

After Zhao Yi was sure that he could start, the judge took a black baffle and stuck it between his eyes and hands.

"Sure."

Zhao Yi pulled down the blindfold, and the timer was started instantly.

I saw that his fingers kept controlling the Rubik's Cube, and the state of the Rubik's Cube was constantly changing.

The speed is not fast.

Zhao Yi knew how to turn, because he didn't look at it with his eyes, and he was worried about wrong movements. He carefully controlled every step.

Even so, the Rubik's Cube was quickly restored.

After Zhao Yi finished the last rotation, the Rubik's Cube was still on the table, and he calmly took off his blindfold and looked at the timer-20 seconds 32.

Kovalchik took a deep breath, unable to believe what he saw.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously.

That's right!

More than 20 seconds!

The current blind twist record of the third-order Rubik's Cube is 27.06. The opponent directly increased the record by seven seconds, which is really incredible.

Other people's reactions were similar.

The assessors, notaries, and Zhou Fangsheng who was standing in the distance all grew their mouths in surprise. They knew exactly what twenty seconds meant.

The assessor was surprised and announced, "The results are valid!"

The two notaries also announced the results immediately, and at the same time they said a large set of fair and relevant lines.

The cheerleaders who got the results later cheered excitedly--

"Zhao Yi! Really broke the record!"

"It works!"

Wang Chengmin hurriedly waved and commanded, "Hurry up, shout the slogan!"

"Zhao Yi! You are the best!"

"Thirteenth Middle School!"

"Zhao Yi! You are the best!"

"Thirteenth Middle School!"

As Zhao Yi listened to his forehead, he felt a little pain in his head.

Amidst surprise and cheers, Kovalchik walked over and asked, "Would you like to try again? I feel that it is not the fastest result."

He was referring to the unprofessional process of blind twist.

For example, at the very beginning, it wasted a few tenths of a second from putting down the blindfold to the beginning of turning the Rubik's Cube, and finally a few tenths of a second was wasted when putting down the Rubik's Cube.

"Yes, do it again."

The reviewer also said that he did not feel that he was professional or unprofessional, but that the record-breaking results were too amazing. He was worried that he hadn't seen anything and made mistakes in his work.

"Are the results effective?" Zhao Yi asked.

"It is effective!"

"no problem."

The reviewer and the notary nodded confirmed.

Zhao Yi tried it for the second time, but Kovalchik was in charge of disrupting, and he finally chose to disrupt into 19 steps.

This is probably a temptation.

Zhao Yi didn't care, anyway, the record has been broken, the state of the Rubik's Cube is not a problem.

When everything was ready, he pulled down the blindfold to restore the Rubik's Cube.

Brush, brush...

Much faster this time!

After a dazzling operation with both hands, the Rubik's Cube was thrown on the table, the timer stopped synchronously, and the number on it was--

13 seconds 09.

The scene was silent.

The reviewer was stunned.

Kovalchik walked over to break the silence. He took a deep breath and said to Zhao Yi, "I regret letting you try again."

"You have created an extremely amazing record, and this project may lose its competitive significance in the future, because no one can break your record!"

After hearing Kovalchik's words, Zhao Yi frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that everything was dull.

He came to challenge the Rubik's Cube's blind twist record, just to try to earn scientific research coins, but using the system's ability to break the record is very unfair to the project itself.

forget it!

Zhao Yi stood up and walked outside.

Kovalchik stopped him and asked, "Aren't you going to challenge the fourth-order blindfold? There are also fifth-order..."

"I gave up."

"Why?" Kovalchik didn't understand, he was able to create an astonishing record for the blind twist of the third-order Rubik's Cube, and the chance to challenge the fourth and fifth-order Rubik's Cube was also great.

Under the gaze of several cameras, Zhao Yi took the master's lonely sadness. He sighed and said, "You said it, I just created a record that no one can break."

"If I continue to challenge the records of Tier 4 and Tier 5, all the records of the blindfold event will be replaced by my name. What about other Rubik's Cube blindfolders? Their professional pursuit may be to break the record, but I let the record It cannot be broken."

"I can't do this."

"That's cruel!"

Zhao Yi sighed again, then turned and walked out of the conference room door.
