If a cuber’s hands aren't flat on the sensor before starting, the solve can be disqualified.

In a final round, the "shaking hands" phenomenon can make a standard 3x3 feel like a 10x10. This leads to botched algorithms (PLL/OLL) where the solver forgets a move halfway through and has to resolve the entire cube. Conclusion ВЎTop FAILS del Speedcubing! в™›

Physical speed is nothing without mental composure. A "lock-up" occurs when a solver’s fingers move faster than their brain can process the next move, or when the cube’s layers don't align, causing the mechanism to jam. If a cuber’s hands aren't flat on the

For a world-class solver, a +2 can turn a potential world record into a mediocre time. Cubers have 15 seconds to inspect the cube

Cubers have 15 seconds to inspect the cube. Going over 15 seconds results in a +2; going over 17 seconds is a DNF. Some of the most famous fails involve a cuber getting "lost" in their cross-solution and losing track of time. Psychological Pressure and "Lock-ups"

This happens when a piece physically flies out of the cube during a high-speed sequence. While modern cubes are designed to be "anti-pop," the sheer force of a competitive solve can still cause hardware failure.
