Video creator here. Response on this forum has been so productive and interesting, thanks for all the replies and the great discussion, will be doing a follow up video addressing many things that have been discussed here.

Any ideas where else I could promote this video? This site was suggested to me by a friend and it was perfect. Thank you again.

Wow I had no idea about the no inspection event, was it with the WCA?

Good points about inspection time making it more interesting, I think a lot of people agree with you, and I find it very interesting personally. The RedBull thing was shown to me by a speedcuber who just wanted to point out that there are no inspection events out there, even though they aren't aimed solely at the speed cubing community.

Here's my issue. The statement "the world record for solving a rubiks cube is 3.47 seconds" is false. It took him longer than 3.47 seconds, we just don't count the extra time because of the rules of the game (which is a great game by the way).

I don't think I implied that the inspection time doesn't affect the solve time, but I'm learning a lot about how people interpret the words you say in a monologue. For example, I totally misspoke when I said "they're solving it in their head", they are... but not completely, and that's what many people took my words to mean which was not my intention, lessons learned.

Trying to change the way tournaments are run, my friend told me you guys might be interested. Please delete if irrelevant. Thanks
