  • How did clock go from the most hated event in the WCA to one of the most loved? Watch this video to learn the story about clock; how it was critiqued, and how the clock community soared past all of these critiques, and exploded in size, due to the influence of cubers like Luke Garrett, Brendyn Dunagan, and Tommy Cherry

    I got my first clock in agust 2023
    I practised it alot and got sub 10 with flip
    I got a 9.xy avr in comp (2nd place and nr8)
    But now thats nr18
    I have lerned 7simul and grinded for 6 months
    I avr 5 sec and have a comp this month
    And yes i live in norway

      Could you tell me what some of the inaccuracies/omissions were? To my knowledge everything in the video is accurate, but I am kind of a noob at clock.

    • @CalebTrelford
      @CalebTrelford 23 дня назад

      ​@@notmecubes Practically everything besides Clock's negative reputation pre-7 simul is ignored even though there are many interesting stories, and the creation of 7 simul is glossed over even though it was the most important event in this video.
      People's respect for Clock was increasing before 7 simul. People's gripes with hardware were addressed with magnetic Clocks and then practically resolved with the QiYi Clock. Additionally, my use of Sheerin in comp helped people see that Clock could require more thinking and could be optimized further.
      Lanshi Zhang first invented 7 simul in 2021 independently. He posted on a random Chinese forum about it, posted some videos on Bilibili about it, and used a variation in comp that required him to memorize two numbers and flip. Neither I, Tommy, nor Benjamin Paul have ever talked to this dude. We only found out about his posts after we developed 7 simul independently. Your video implies we worked together and misses the opportunity for a twist to explain how we came up with a method that had already been created without our knowledge. Throughout the whole video, your storytelling is very linear ("and then this happened.... and then this...."). As a viewer, it is much more interesting to be taken down twists and turns, even if it requires you to talk about stuff out of sequential order ("this happened..... HOWEVER..... BUT..... THEREFORE.....").
      No-flip had long been an idea, until Sebastian Pino Castillo decided to use it in his world record average. HOWEVER, he was cheating and memorized the solutions to his easy scrambles before hand!!! A few years later, Matthew Sheerin made a forum post and a video going over a no-flip method he made (Sheerin). For years, nobody did anything with this (some Australian cubers like Conan were aware of it but didn't do much with it). However, without anyone's knowledge, I was grinding Sheerin during quarantine and emerged a world class solver. There's an interesting story surrounding the US NAR. I won't get into it because this comment is already long.
      With Sheerin proven in competition, I began looking for ways to 1 look Clock and optimize it further. I came up with my own calculations to start 1 looking and also developed a way to solve the Clock with 6 simul moves and 2 standard moves (in contrast to the typical 5 simul moves and 4 standard moves). This led to thinking that maybe solving the Clock in just 7 simul moves would be possible, and bpaul made a program that generated a bunch of pin sets that did just this. I identified a good pin set from this and introduced Tommy to 7 simul.
      I could point out more inaccuracies, things you left out, and unnecessary inclusions, but I think you get my point. I love Summoning Salt, the speedrunning RUclipsr, and your content has a lot of similarities with his early content. You seem to have a talent for making video essays. However, your content is a little rough around the edges. I suggest that for future videos you reach out to people who might be more knowledgeable to not only get more story points but also make sure you aren't getting stuff wrong. Everyone depicted in this video is passionate, approachable, and would be willing to provide more information and help if you asked.
