Anomaly because: Everyone in the room will be able to solve that dang thing.
The World Cube Association has announced the 2009 championship will take place Oct 9-11, in the city of Düsseldorf, Germany. The competition is the association's fifth Rubik's championship worldwide. International cubing professionals will be competing in a series of rounds including one-handed, blindfolded, feet-only matches, while using cubes ranging from 4 to 7 inches cubed (the commercial Rubik is 3 inches cubed). The aim: to get the fastest time.
The wrists and nimble fingers of cube demons Erik Akkersdijk (Netherlands) and Yu Nakajima (Japan) will be something to watch out for (both average around 11 seconds). But don't expect veteran, Mátyás Kuti, to fade out. Holding the most world champion titles, this native of Hungary has a few Rubik Magic switches up his sleeve for current champion, USA's Patrick Jameson.
