The "Brain Bang" program team attached great importance to Zhao Yi's challenge to the record, and they not only invited the reviewers of Guinness China, but also invited two notaries from government departments.

In addition, there was a Witness from abroad.

Belonert Kovalczyk is a Polish professional Rubik's Cube blind twister.

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

At the same time, he held the record of 'No. 1 in the world for multiple blind twisting', and it took 54 minutes and 14 seconds to successfully restore all 41 third-order Rubik's cubes.

Kovalczyk was very curious about Zhao Yi, he was invited to participate in the "Brain Bang" column, but he didn't expect to come over to witness the challenge of the Rubik's Cube blind twisting record.

When shaking hands with Zhao Yi politely, he paid attention to Zhao Yi's hand and asked a little strangely, "You don't often play Rubik's Cube?"

He speaks English with a strong regional accent.

Zhao Yi was a little unaccustomed to hearing it, but he still understood the meaning, nodded and smiled, "I rarely play Rubik's Cube." ”

"Then why are you trying to set the record?" Kovalczyk meant that you don't even play the Rubik's Cube very little, and it's a bit overwhelming to challenge the Rubik's Cube record.

"Because. ”

Zhao Yi said and pointed to his head.

Kovalczyk didn't understand, he looked left and right with some disdain, thinking that the challenge scene was a show scene.

"Brain Bang Theory" is a variety show, filled with the name of 'brain', the propaganda is a science program, in essence, many projects and rules are self-created, and the rules of the Rubik's Cube competition are not perfect.

In order to increase ratings, it is understandable that this kind of variety show will engage in some gimmicks, perhaps because the other party is more famous, and the failure to challenge the record can also help the show attract traffic.

"It must be so!"

Looking at the cheerleading squad of students in the distance, Kovalczyk's disdain intensified.

Zhao Yi just said a few words to Kovalczyk, then sat down in the position of the challenge, listening to the Guinness judge talk about the rules, he took a sip of water and moved his fingers to prepare.

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

The meeting room fell silent.

The most important thing in the blind twisting project of the Rubik's Cube is memory, and the noisy environment will greatly affect the player's performance.

The judge handed over an eyepatch and asked Zhao Yi to wear it on his forehead, "After you pull off the blindfold, the timer will start." ”

"Good. ”

Kovalczyk walked over with a restored Rubik's cube and then randomly shuffled it under the watchful eye of the judges.

After the Rubik's Cube was scrambled, two notaries asked to pass, and they entered the Rubik's Cube status into the computer, and immediately came up with the lowest number of steps for the Rubik's Cube to restore - 16.

"16, is that okay?"

The judge looked at Zhao Yi.

In the past, the Rubik's Cube record challenge, to make sure that the disrupted in line with the rules can begin, after having the Rubik's Cube calculator, there is an embarrassing situation, the minimum steps calculated are few, which may make people think that the players are lucky, and the Rubik's Cube Association has not determined for the time being, the Rubik's Cube used in the competition, what is the specific minimum reduction step.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "It's too little, it's better to be twenty times." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

Kovalczyk was a little tired now.

He scrambled the Rubik's Cube several times, and the results were 18 or 19 several times, and when he scrambled again, he heard that the notary said to him in English, "He is really making trouble for himself by making this calculator." ”

"What?"

"Don't you know? The Rubik's Cube calculator was made by Zhao Yi. The notary pointed at Zhao Yi and explained.

Kovalczyk looked at Zhao Yi in surprise.

Zhao Yi made a Rubik's Cube calculator, which caused some discussion in the academic community, but to say that it is famous is still in the Rubik's Cube world.

Zhao-Yi。

This name can be said to be known and unknown to everyone in the world Rubik's Cube world, because the Rubik's Cube calculator he made has a huge impact on the third-order Rubik's Cube competition, and almost every Rubik's Cube lover will download a Rubik's Cube calculator.

Kovalczyk was one of them, and he was distressed to think about the five dollars he had to pay.

That was the first time he paid for downloading software.

"I see!"

"He made a 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!"

Kovalczyk 'understood' the arrangement of the program.

Of course.

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

A show-like challenge that doesn't even have the chance of success.

The Rubik's Cube is only played by professional players, and the hand speed of amateur players is a big problem, and the blind twisting is more demanding, regardless of how long it takes, it is great to be able to complete the project.

Kovalczyk tried a dozen times to get the number on the Rubik's Cube computer to display at 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 them on the table to indicate that he could start.

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

Zhao Yi nodded.

Kovalczyk was even more amazed than the jurors, who had to look at each one for a while to memorize the colors of the facets.

The other party took several times less time than him!

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

"That's it. ”

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

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

It's not fast.

Zhao Yi knew how to turn in his mind, because he didn't see with his eyes, and he was worried that there would be wrong movements, so he carefully controlled every step.

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

Zhao Yi finished the last turn, put the Rubik's Cube still on the table, and calmly took off the blindfold and looked at the timer - 20 seconds 32.

Kovarchik took a deep breath, unable to believe what he was seeing.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously.

That's right!

More than 20 seconds!

At present, the blind twisting record of the third-order Rubik's Cube is 27.06 seconds, and the other party directly improved the record by as much as seven seconds, which is really incredible.

Others reacted similarly.

The assessors, notaries, and Zhou Fangsheng, who was standing in the distance, all opened their mouths in surprise, they knew very well what twenty seconds meant.

The judges held back their surprise and announced, "The results are valid!"

The two notaries also immediately announced the results, and at the same time said a large set of justice-related lines.

The cheerleaders who got the results in the back were already cheering excitedly--

"Zhao Yi! It's really a record!"

"That's good!"

Wang Chengmin hurriedly waved his hand to command, "Quick, shout slogans!"

"Zhao Yi, you are the best!"

"Thirteen!"

"Zhao Yi!

"Thirteen!"

Zhao Yi listened to the hard support of his forehead, and he felt a little headache.

In a mixture of surprise and cheers, Kovalczyk walked over and asked, "Do you want to try again?" ”

He was referring to the unprofessional blind twisting process.

For example, at the beginning, it took a few tenths of a second to put down the blindfold and start turning the Rubik's Cube, and finally the action of putting down the Rubik's Cube also wasted a few tenths of a second.

"Yes, again. ”

The reviewer also said that he didn't think that the profession was unprofessional, but that the record-breaking results were too amazing, and he was worried that he didn't see anything, which would lead to mistakes in his work.

"The results just now have taken effect, right?" Zhao Yi asked.

"It works!"

"No problem. ”

The assessor and the notary affirm the nod.

Zhao Yi tried it a second time, but Kovarczyk was in charge of the disruption, and he finally chose to disrupt it into 19 moves.

This is probably a temptation.

Zhao Yi didn't care, anyway, the record has been broken, and 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......

This time it's much faster!

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

13.09.

There was silence.

The judges were stunned.

Kovalczyk walked over and broke the silence, he took a deep breath and said to Zhao Yi, "I regret letting you try again." ”

"You've set an amazing record, and the project may lose its competitive significance in the future, because no one can beat your record!"

Listening to Kovalczyk's words, Zhao Yi frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that everything was boring.

He came to challenge the blind twisting record of the Rubik's Cube, just to try to earn scientific research coins, but it was unfair to the project itself to use the system's ability to break the record.

Still, forget it!

Zhao Yi stood up and walked out the door.

Kovalczyk stopped him and asked, "Aren't you still going to challenge the fourth-order blind twist?" and the fifth-order ......?"

"I gave up. ”

"Why?" Kovalczyk was a little puzzled, he could set an amazing record for the blind twisting of the third-order Rubik's Cube, and there was a great chance of challenging the blind twisting of the fourth-order and fifth-order Rubik's Cube.

Under the gaze of several cameras, Zhao Yi had a lonely sadness as a master, and he let out a long sigh and said, "You said it all, I just created a record that no one can break." ”

"If I continue to try the fourth-order records and the fifth-order records, I will change all the records of the blind twisting event to my name. What about other Rubik's Cube blind twisters? Their professional pursuit may be to break records, but I made it impossible to break them. ”

"I can't do that. ”

"That's cruel!"

Zhao Yi let out a long sigh again, turned around and walked out of the door of the conference room.
