Stefan Pochmann beats his own world record for solving the dodecahedron-shaped Megaminx. He basically invented a shape just to do this.

Ya see...this is why we don't have teleportation yet. Because the few of us that can do stuff like this....are doing stuff like this.

Give that kid a sliderule and a case of Bawls and maybe we'll be able to get off this rock and go cruisin' around the galaxy.

He didn't invent a shape, there are many kinds of different kind of dodecahedrons. It looks really difficult, but with such odd shaped pieces that can only go in one place, I wonder how much harder it really is.

He isn't flipping them very fast. A competition cuber moves many times faster then this. The speed disparity leads me to wonder if there is much competition for solving this.

Wikipedia claims that Erik Akkersdijk holds the record at 1min 14.90sec, so the description, though it may be technically accurate (solver beats his old record), is misleading(since the record beat is not currently the world record).

Some Wikipedia editor also makes the claim that it is not much harder then a 3x3 cube, which seems reasonable, since you only need center-column rotation(impossible on megaminx) for quickly solving some end state positions on the 3x3, and everything else is otherwise similar, but with more edges/corners.
