World Championship Rubik's Cube 1982
Ойындар
This is a 25 minute video with the highlights of the 1st Rubik's Cube World Championship, held in June 1982 in Budapest.
Unfortunately the quality is not very good.
Thanks to Pellepennan Aspelin for sending me the original video cassette!

Fun fact: most of these guys learned their tricks on cubes with the "japanese color scheme" where blue is opposite white. However all the cubes in this competition had the modern color scheme where yellow is opposite white, meaning there's a fair chance a faster time could've been had if they were more used to the color scheme

They were also given new unbroken unmmoded cubes instead of theirs and if a cube popped in two solves in a row they'd be disqualified.

Amazing how much speed cubing has changed. The amount of rotations alone... they constantly were looking around the cube and performing rotations decades ago. I love seeing these things to understand just how far we've come and all we've learned. And I'm still no where close to these times yet, and I have the luxury of using modern cubes designed for speed, with magnets and all that jazz. These people were going at it on the rough original Rubik's branded cubes. That alone is insane!

but understand that these are the best in the world back then so if they were transported with their skills to our modern equipment they would with practice be right around the wr as well. i solve a little faster than they do in the video but if I try to do the same thing they are doing i would be around 1 minute.
Oh man. We've come a long way since that, huh
I was supposedly going to study, but i need to see this I don't regret it

Couldn't help but notice the names Fridrich and Petrus were in this championship. They would each go on to have solving methods named after them (I think most speedcubers are familiar with the Fridrich method). Pretty interesting that they were both competing in this event.

ah yes, “Study the cube for 15 seconds”
Delegates now: 8 seconds, 12 seconds (damn this guy is inspecting forever) Delegates 1982: He doesn’t even want the full 15 seconds! 🕵️♂️ 🧐 He only wants 10 how incredibly remarkable, he’s a genius!😮 🤔
Quality was VHS quality with CC's in Swedish, but at least it's good enough to see what Petrus and Schultz are doing in slow mo.
Damn that is some good grafic. My tablet can barely show 3 by 3 pixels man

Man, those days it was so formal, we even had lawyers and juries and sealed cubes.
I guarantee you no one in this room would believe me if i told them 32 years from now there will be a 10 year old kid who solves the cube in under 4.5 seconds ON AVERAGE
