I don't think that 7 seconds in one go really constitutes a genuine world record. A randomized cube can (in my experience) have a wide range of necessary moves to solve it. To truly be a record Master of the Cube, one should device a test with something like 10 randomized cubes, and calculate average solving time. This to eliminate any dumb-luck solutions resulting in an undeserved world-record, but truly test the skill of the genius cube-mind. | The standard is to take the average of the middle three times out of five attempts. It's called the "average solve" time, and the world record is 8.52 seconds, according to Wikipedia, or 20% slower than the single-time record. |
