On the contrary, I feel that we're already reasonably close to the possible limits of human execution. Think of it this way: If someone could conceivably use full ZB (or whatever method with few moves they choose) and manage between 40 and 45 moves per solve, along with a turn rate of around 5 turns per second, that's still something like 9 seconds on average. Sure, proportionately, we've got a long way to go, but with the rate of improvement, and the general refinement of the methods and processes, I believe cubing will soon reach a point where a sub-13 or even sub-12 average is not unheard of in competition. Of course, even that is leagues away from 9 seconds, but it's only a matter of time, really. I'm much more interested in the limits on the 4x4. -Mike Team [ZB] ------------------------ Yahoo!
