That's the record for announcing an event?

Yes, with the new WCA puzzle in gif! 😅

Looks like a cross between a Chimera Giant and a moving hole puzzle.

Did they really exist?

The Chimera Giant and moving hole puzzles? Yes, definitely.

[–] annorax@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'd never heard of them.

They are somewhat niche puzzles. The Chimera Giant was custom transformation of an 8x8.

I've just seen a solve video with it. It's amazing
