Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the common name used to refer to Sport Stacking?

Answer: Speed Stacking

Sport Stacking was once known as Cup Stacking. The sport was invented in the 1980s, but wasn't made world famous until the 1990s. Speed Stacking is the most common name used to refer to the sport.
2. Who invented Sport Stacking?

Answer: Wayne Godinet

Wayne Godinet invented the sport in the early 1980s. However, it wasn't recognized worldwide until it was put on "The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson" in 1990. Wayne Godinet worked with Bob Fox on the new sport in the 1990s, after it was invented.
3. What is the Sport Stacking motto?

Answer: Stack Fast!

The motto for Sport Stacking is Stack Fast! This is the case with many people, who can complete the entire cycle in less than 8 seconds!
4. What does WSSA stand for?

Answer: World Sport Stacking Association

The World Sport Stacking Association, or WSSA, hosts tournaments of Sport Stacking. In 2004, the WSSA changed the name from Speed Stacking to Sport Stacking. They did this because people confused it as simply a hobby. It is considered a sport, so the used the name Sport Stacking to make sure people were aware of this.
5. What is the order of the stacks performed in a cycle?

Answer: 3-6-3, 6-6, 1-10-1

You begin the cycle with a 3-6-3 stack, stacking the first 3 up, the 6 up, the other 3 up, going back to take down the first 3, take down the 6, take down the last three and bring it over to the first 3 stack. From here you can do the 6-6 stack. You do the first 6 stack with the two 3 stacks you just brought together, and then do the next 6 stack. You bring these two stacks together to make a stack of 12. You take two to the side and have one face up, the other face down. You make a 10 stack with the remaining 10 cups. With the other 2 cups, after flipping the cups and hitting them on the table, you take down the 10 stack to bring yourself back to the original 3-6-3 stack again.
6. Who had the record of the fastest cycle time for 4 years?

Answer: Emily Fox

Emily Fox, Bob Fox's own daughter, had the record of the fastest time for the cycle ever for four years! Second place was held by her younger brother for this time, too. Some argue that they have an advantage as their dad being one of the original founders of the sport, but they argue that this doesn't improve them at all.
7. On February 16th, 2008, what record time was set by Steven Purugganan for the cycle?

Answer: 6.65 seconds

Emily Fox had the record for 4 years before Robin Stangenberg beat her record with 7.41 seconds in November of 2006, on the 25th. This score was beaten on April 15th, 2007 by David Wolf with 7.25 seconds. Only 0.02 seconds faster beat this record in October of 2007 by Steven Purugganan. Weeks after, however, in November of that year, David Wolf got his record back with 7.15 seconds.

In February of 2008, Timo Reuhl got the first time ever under 7 seconds, with 6.80 seconds, beating the previous record.

But this ever changing record was beaten yet again on the 16th of February by Steven Purugganan of Massachussetts, in New York, completing the cycle in 6.65 seconds! He also received the fastest time for the 3-3-3 stack and the 3-6-3 stack.
8. What is the name of Steven Purugganan's brother, who helped him win the doubles world record in February 2008?

Answer: Andrew

Steven and Andrew completed the entire cycle in 7.84 seconds. This is still faster than Emily Fox's record of 4 years! In doubles competitions, there are two players playing the cycle, one using their left hand and the other using their right hand.
9. What time did Steven receive for the 3-3-3 stack on April 6, 2008?

Answer: 1.86 seconds

Steven beat his previous world record from February 16th, 2008 by 0.10 seconds! He also holds the fastest time for the 3-6-3! His score from February 16, 2008 was 2.38 seconds, but on April 6 of the same year he beat it by 0.02 seconds! He also holds the record for the cycle and the 3-3-3.

His fastest time for the cycle on April 6 is 6.21, which shaved off 0.44 seconds off his record from February 16, 2008!
10. What material is used to make the cups used by competitors before a competition?

Answer: Metal

Although plastic is commonly used, metal cups are used before competitions. This gets players prepared for the competition at hand, because once they use the plastic cups, it feels lighter to them, so they can more easily glide across the cups to get fast times. All cups, whether metal or plastic, have three holes in each top.

This is to prevent sunction between the cups, so the cups will more easily come apart from each other. Don't try to use your own plastic cups, as they will not work! You can get cups fairly cheap at any WalMart or Target! It is worth getting the real things.

They even have special training cups.
