My video from the UK Rubik's Championship will not be out for a bit, so in the mean time I interviewed Mats Valk right after he broke the Rubik's World Record.

This is the unedited skype phonecall I had with him. You can see the edited version in my latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEsFoinLHrk

Thanks for going to all the effort to share and edit the extra/extended/unedited content Matt, it's interesting seeing what you feel is suitable for the final video and nice seeing the mistakes and double takes - it must be hard cutting bits enough to get your message across while sacrificing other good parts, another reason why it's great not feeling like we've missed something. Always look forward to your next video!

Matt Parker

Thanks! It is always difficult deciding what to cut when there is so much good stuff. But it's a good problem to have and making a good video is often all about what you resist putting in. I have to admit: knowing I have Patreon as an outlet for the unedited footage makes me feel a lot better about editing bits out: they're not completely lost!

This actually encouraged me to work on my rubik's skills. Thanks both to you and to Mats!

Matt Parker

Hurray! It takes a bit of practise to speed up your average time. If I make it to the World Comp in 2017 I definitely need to work on my times!

All the rubik's-ing convinced me I should give it another go to learn. I'm nowhere near good enough to compete yet, but I was the hit at all the Thanksgiving get-togethers this last week. And really, that's all I need for now.

Matt Parker

Alright! Great work. Now with a bit of practice you can truly astound them next Thanksgiving.
