News Rubik's Cube record set in Atlanta?

An Alpharetta man was named national Rubik's Cube champion Sunday at Underground Atlanta, and the tournament may have set the world record for "Most People Solving Rubik's Cube."
Andrew Kang beat more than 100 other competitors in the 2008 U.S National Rubik’s Cube Tournament, with an average cube solving time of 12.97 seconds, according to a press release.
"It was an honor to compete against so many extraordinary cubers," said Kang, who'll move on to the World Rubik’s Cube Championship next year.
During the first day of the event, excitement ensued as 75 cubers participated in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for “The Most People Solving the Rubik’s Cube” in one place in under one hour. Each participant successfully solved their cube within the allotted time to collectively meet the record requirements, which Guinness is currently reviewing before the record is officially announced.
Damn. I could have been watching that instead of The Dark Knight.
