 Good morning, Quie. I found the video that you posted two weeks ago about the original cube and I appreciated it very much. As you can see, I have an original cube. This is the cube that I've had since 1980 or 81. I bought it really early. My friends and I discovered the cube pretty much as soon as it hit the USA back then. Believe me, I've used these things like crazy. I've just taken really good care of it to make sure it doesn't get dirty or chipped or any of the stickers torn or anything. I just wish I'd kept the box. Anyway, I discovered your video after JKC. You just keep cubing post of the cube authority trailer. My favorite cube on YouTube is probably Pete the Geek but he hasn't posted anything for weeks so I went looking for new cubers to find online and that's how I found the JKC. I also bought the Rubik's Revenge as it was called back in the day. 4x4. As you can see, the original cubes had blue on the bottom, not yellow. Yellow was opposite green. The reason I took notice of your video about the original cube is because I have a question about the official cubing competitions. I haven't been able to find an answer online. I don't even know how to search for the answer. My question is at which point was blue officially swapped with yellow and was there a reason for it? Anyway, I'm an old school cuber and to my thinking blue belongs on the bottom and I'm going to have to change the way I think about the cube if I'm going to get used to the modern cubes. I can solve the 3x3 in about 3 minutes. To the average person, that's astonishing. I've done it at parties from time to time and when people are at parties when they're talking and laughing and drinking, 3 minutes is so fast that it goes by before they even know what's happened. When I first read a few years ago that there were a new generation of cubers who were solving a cube in less than 20 seconds, I didn't believe it. I just flat out refused to believe it. But then two years ago or so, I started looking at these new cubers on YouTube and well, there they are. I can't deny it. As you pointed out, they're certainly not using these old school Rubik's brand cubes like I do. While that might be part of it, I think it's going to be difficult for me to learn a new way of thinking about the cube because I've been doing this for 35 years now and I'm very fixed in the way I approach the cube and the way I look at it and the way I think about it. Anyway, I also have this monstrosity. I know they call them megaminx today, but back in the 80s when I bought this, this actually belonged to a friend of mine. He loaned it to me and it stayed with me. So I don't know what it was called. It certainly wasn't called a megaminx back then. I never saw the packaging. We just always call it the dodecahedron. Now this thing, it's been in storage for many years. You can see how I came up with my own solutions to it. I approached it the same way I approached the 3x3. I saw the bottom corners. I never got the bottom edges quite right. There was one point at which I had the bottom edges placed properly, but then I never got them oriented properly. But since then, I continue to play with it since then and they're not even in the right spots now. But this thing, tremendously difficult to move. I mean, it's like a solid block of plastic. It takes effort to push the parts around. So it's really no fun to play with. I think that's part of the reason I never finished it. Anyway, do you have an answer about when and why the official colors were changed? So I'd really be interested to know, especially the why of it. And what is there a particular reason for it? And does anybody feel that really improved anything? Anyway, greetings to you, Quie, and to JKC. I am a fan and I hope somebody is interested in answering the question. Bye.
