Voici un extrait d'un article du Japan Times d'aujourd'hui.
J'en ai été bouche bée toute la journée...
BUDAPEST - Yu Nakajima of Japan won the main event at the 2007 Rubik's Cube world championship Sunday.
The 16-year-old Nakajima, a junior at an engineering high school in Kushiro, Hokkaido, was able to solve the classic 3×3 cube in an average time of 12.46 seconds over five attempts.
"I could not think of anything when I was declared the champion. I am so happy to have won," said Nakajima, who practices the game five hours every day.
The world record is 9.86 seconds, held since May by Jacquinot Thibault of France.
In the more difficult category of 5x5 cubes, Takayuki Okusa, 20, from Higashi-Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, came in third by solving the cube in 1 minute and 50.46 seconds.
Others showed their skill at solving the cube blindfolded, with one hand or with their feet.
Finland's Anssi Vanhala was fastest with his feet at 49.33 seconds, although his favorite cube — which players customize with everything from silicon lubricants to talcum powder — was stolen during the competition.Hungary's Matyas Kuti was fastest solving the 4×4 and 5×5 cubes and also won several of the blindfold events, which seemed to draw the biggest respect from his peers.
