We Interviewed the FMC World Record Holders

In this interview, I asked Aedan Bryant and Levi Gibson questions about their world record breaking achievement. Finding a way to solve a Rubiks Cube in 16 moves. Today, I'll be asking them how they found their solutions, and just how lucky they truly got.
Apologies for some audio/video being out of sync, since this was a remote interview, there were technical difficulties.

Great interview guys!

[@moodlethenoodle]

[@deviouspenguin1234]

This was actually super interesting

[@abhijeetghodgaonkar]

Yo FTO

[@robomonk1717]

The thumbnail giving Colin and Samir vibes, that is to say very high quality, and clearly inspiration not copy cat lol no diss 👏

[@clicky.studios]

haha yeah they're just a big inspiration to us in general

[@MrB0MB3R]

imagine speed cubers started learning this fewest move challenge thing and they started solving them in like 1-2 seconds

[@clicky.studios]

it’s a little more complicated than that lol

[@-CubeCentral-]

they only have 15 seconds instead of an hour

[@ignDart]

that would work...
...if fmc wasnt based on trying a lot of things and getting a good continuation
...and if fmc didnt involve a lot of backtracking and inserting
...and if fmc solutions weren't unergonomic

[@inseminggd9435]

before watching the video, i believe fmc singles revolve around luck, but also a ton of skills and knowledge
if you gave the average cuber that scramble, pen and paper and an hour, they just wouldnt get a 16 move solution

Imagine getting a WR in an event you are not as good at, compared to you other ones 😮
